28120 (2024). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister for Children: What contracted services will be reduced in the policy initiative 'Reduction in Contracting Service Costs - Oranga Tamariki', listed by category, type of service and name of provider?

Hon Karen Chhour: I am advised by Oranga Tamariki that this initiative reduces the cost of contracted services by: • recovering funding from social sector service providers where services are under-delivered, not provided, or no longer required, and • transitioning Fee for Service arrangements into formal agreements. I am advised that Oranga Tamariki is currently working through the processes to identify and make the required changes and therefore cannot yet confirm the category, type of service and name of provider.
