11961 (2026). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for Children: What is the most recent restructure, if any, to take place in the Minister’s departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, and how many roles were affected, if any?

Hon Karen Chhour: I am advised the most recent restructure to take place at Oranga Tamariki was the implementation of a new roster at Te Puna Wai Youth Justice residence. I am further advised 24 roles were affected through this change (including vacancies), with an overall net reduction of 1 FTE.
