27858 (2025). Kahurangi Carter to the Minister for Disability Issues: Does Budget 2025 provide a price uplift for provider funding levels in 2025/26?

Hon Louise Upston: I am advised by the Ministry of Social Development that the budget allows for price uplifts for most providers in the 2025/26 Financial Year. The Government is investing $1 billion in new funding over the forecast period to support DSS demand and inflationary pressures.
