12647 (2026). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister for Social Development and Employment: What is the expected date, if any, by which the Ministry of Social Development will have rectified the systems issues that have prevented publication of key statistics for December 2025 and January 2026?

Hon Louise Upston: The Ministry of Social Development is completing work to restore and recheck the affected system data. The December Benefit quarterly report has now been published, as have the February, and March monthly benefit and housing reports. All monthly and quarterly reports are now being provided on the normal timeframes, and all delayed reports will be published by 24 April.
