38161 (2025). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Associate Minister of Education: How many, if any, school lunches were not delivered during the week of July 28th 2025, expressed as an overall number?

Hon David Seymour: I am advised that the Ministry of Education (the Ministry) does not track lunches across all suppliers and internal meal providers in the programme on a weekly basis. During the week beginning 28 July 2025, the School Lunch Collective (SLC) delivered 508,204 lunches. Delivery in full and on time was 99.71 percent. The SLC informed the Ministry that: • one school received their meals late, due to a new driver • 16 schools were missed lunches on one day due to road closures from an accident and flooding. This is also my response to written parliamentary question 38157, 38156, 38162 (2025).
