28123 (2024). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister for Children: What specific specialised caregiving services does the policy initiative 'High Needs Children Services' provide for disabled children and young people, and what, if any, agencies or service providers will provide these services?

Hon Karen Chhour: I am advised by Oranga Tamariki that this initiative funds specialised caregiving services for disabled children and young people with high support needs in Oranga Tamariki care. The funding provides for increased demand and cost of these services. The exact agencies or service providers will be determined based on need.
