40696 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister of Finance

40696 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister of Finance: Will additional funding be made available to pay for any increase in board fees for Crown bodies, or is it the Minister's expectation that public service departments will pay for any increase in board fees through existing budgets?

Hon Nicola Willis: Any adjustments to board fees for Crown bodies should not have a direct financial impact on the Crown, as directors' fees are typically funded by the organisation itself through its operational budget. Any exceptions to this principle will be subject to the appropriate approval processes.
