26625 (2026). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: How much, if any, of the Healthy Homes Initiative funding was paid to contracted community providers in each financial year since 2021/22?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that Healthy Homes Initiative funding since 2021/22 has supported a mixed model of service delivery across districts, including delivery by Health New Zealand-employed staff and through contracted community providers (including subcontracting arrangements). The amount of funding paid to contracted community providers varies across districts and financial years, reflecting the different service delivery arrangements in place. Therefore this information cannot be provided.
