24850 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for Disability Issues: What was the net change, if any, of all roles in the Minister’s departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, between 30 May 2024 and 22 May 2025, listed by job title and number of roles under each job title?

Hon Louise Upston: I am advised that the Ministry of Disabled People - Whaikaha became a standalone Ministry on 1 December 2024 and from this date to 22 May 2025, the net change of roles has been 18. This reflects the structure being implemented from 5 May 2025, referred to in responses 24838 (2025) and 24842 (2025). In relation to Disability Support Services, which is part of the Ministry of Social Development, I refer the member to written reply 24804 (2025).
