28475 (2024). Hon Dr Duncan Webb to the Minister of Justice: What roles or functions (if any) have been discontinued in the decrease in appropriation for sector leadership and support (being a decrease of $959,000 for the reduction of the Justice Sector Directorate operating costs)?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: The $959,000 savings from the Justice Sector Directorate operating budget reflects the removal of funding utilized for consultants, contractors and secondees, disestablishing one vacant senior advisor role and reducing the Chief Victim Advisor’s operating budget for commissioning research. No specific functions were discontinued.
