48162 (2024). Debbie Ngarewa-Packer to the Minister for Whānau Ora: How many people, if any, have received support from Whānau Ora providers since 1 December 2023, broken down by demographic and month?

Hon Tama Potaka: I am advised by Te Puni Kōkiri that reporting on total whānau supported for the 2023/24 financial year is not yet finalised. However, it is estimated that for the period 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024, over 33,000 whānau received support from the three general Whānau Ora Commissioning Agencies. These agencies report on a quarterly basis to Te Puni Kōkiri and the attached table provides a summary for the final two quarters of the year based on reporting provided. The available reporting data does not include a demographic breakdown as this is not required from Commissioning Agencies under the terms and conditions of their agreements.
