42502 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister for Māori Development: In the Minister’s departments, ministries and agencies, if any, how many employees, if any, are set to lose their roles and are Māori, between 27 November 2023 and 10 July 2024?

Hon Tama Potaka: I am advised by Te Puni Kōkiri that consistent with the Pubic Service Commission Information standards and guidance - https://www.publicservice.govt.nz/guidance/information-standards-and-guidance, employees can self identify with up to three different ethnicities. Of the 11 employees who have or are set to be made redundant, eight employees have identified as Māori.
