50579 (2024). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister for Children

50579 (2024). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister for Children: What does the Minister consider will be the impact of only paying 70% of the maximum value of a contract until the services have been paid in full on the ability of community service providers to provide services?

Hon Karen Chhour: The impact is better utilisation of taxpayer money, purchasing what services are needed for children now. I expect more effective and efficient use of public resources because services will be delivered to the children and young people who need them the most, in the places they are needed the most.
