16283 (2025). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Associate Minister of Education: Further to the Associate Minister’s answer to Written Parliamentary Question 12564: Is the Associate Minister confident he is getting a full picture how many children are not getting the meals they need under his school lunch programme, given the Ministry does not hold information around the number of meals not delivered?

Hon David Seymour: I am advised by the Ministry of Education that it is now receiving the daily number of schools missed from delivery, and the number of schools that get meals late or a partial delivery. I am confident my officials are getting the information they need in relation to the school lunch programme. This is also my response to written parliamentary questions 16284, 16285 and 16286 (2025).
