11000 (2024). Hon Priyanca Radhakrishnan to the Minister for Disability Issues: As part of their Officials Meeting with the former Minister Hon Penny Simmonds on 28 February 2024, did Whaikaha Officials advise the former Minister that “A key principle to be implemented is that funding must provide direct benefit for the disabled person, not for family/whanau.”?

Hon Louise Upston: No, I am advised that it is incorrect to attribute this as a verbatim quote to someone in particular, as the question does.
