38290 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Housing

38290 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Housing: How many staff, if any, made redundant at ministries, agencies and/or departments for which the Minister is responsible since 27 November 2023 were reappointed either directly (i.e., without a competitive process) or after reapplying through a competitive recruitment process, as at 4 August 2025?

Hon Chris Bishop: Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities advises me that the number of employees affected by change who have been redeployed or reconfirmed between 27 November 2023 and 4 August 2025 is 803. The number of people made redundant, and the number of previous employees employed or engaged again by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development is published annually as part of the Estimates for Vote Housing and Urban Development. My responses to supplementary written questions 1 to 84 are available on the Parliament website at: https://www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/submissions-and-advice/document/54SCSSC_EVI_0110ef26-127b-4832-cdca-08dd9cbad1c0_SSC20917/minister-of-housing-responses-to-supplementary-written.
