33205 (2026). Reuben Davidson to the Minister for the Public Service and Digitising Government: How much did it cost to establish the Government Digital Delivery Agency within the Public Service Commission, and how many staff, if any, were transferred from the Department of Internal Affairs to do so?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: I am advised that the implementation of the Government Digital Delivery Agency (GDDA) within the Public Service Commission is an ongoing project, and as such, establishment costs cannot be determined at this stage. I am also advised that effective 1 April 2026, 149 employees transferred from the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) to the GDDA within the Commission.
