46541 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister for ACC: What advice, if any, has the Minister received on trade-offs between applying higher board fees under the new Fees Framework and maintaining frontline services or staff resourcing in their portfolio areas?
Hon Scott Simpson: The Cabinet Fees Framework looks at a range of factors when considering fee settings, including affordability. Fee adjustments will not come at the expense of frontline services and will be managed within existing baselines. The Framework is designed to ensure remuneration remains within reasonable limits while supporting the appointment of high-quality governance capability.
