9958 (2024). Rt Hon Chris Hipkins to the Prime Minister: When was he first aware of the challenges in the Disability Issues portfolio?

Rt Hon Christopher Luxon: The challenges facing the disability sector have been well documented in the media. As I have stated publicly, since coming to Government we have discovered major financial issues with programmes run by the Ministry of Disabled People. Our Government is relentlessly focused on getting New Zealand back on track. As issues change in prominence, I plan to adjust Ministerial responsibilities to make sure we are best set up to deliver for New Zealanders.
