18241 (2025). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Associate Minister of Education: How many lunches, if any, that were meant to serve specific dietary or religious needs did not meet those needs during the week of March 31st 2025?

Hon David Seymour: I am advised that, during the week of 31 March 2025, the Ministry of Education (the Ministry) received one school contact about a type of special dietary meal that did not meet the needs of vegan students and one school contact advising that it did not receive the special diet meals ordered. Corrective action has been taken by the supplier. The Ministry does not hold the information on the total number of meals this relates to. This is also my response to written parliamentary question 18238 (2025).
