40487 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Associate Minister of Health: How much, if any, has the Minister’s departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, budgeted for the carbon neutral government programme in the 2025/26 financial year?

Hon David Seymour: I am advised that Pharmac has not specifically budgeted for the Carbon Neutral Government Programme. These costs are met from its baseline budget, and this will be the same for the next financial year. The only foreseeable cost will be the auditing the final carbon footprint report and gathered data.
