44296 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for Vocational Education: How much if any, has Eastern Institute of Technology spent on redundancy payments since 27 November 2023?

Hon Penny Simmonds: The employment process of staff is an operational matter for Te Pūkenga. However, I have been provided Te Pūkenga divisional redundancy payments for 2023 and 2024 (full year), which are set out in the attached table. As the 2025 year is not yet complete, data for the full 2025 year is not yet available. This is also my answer to WPQs 44297, 44374, 44375, 44376, 44377, 44378, 44379, 44380, 44381, 44382, 44383, 44384, 44385, 44386 and 44396 (2025).
