52372 (2024). Francisco Hernandez to the Attorney-General: What advice, if any, has the Minister received on the impact of public service cuts, if any, within their department, if any?

Hon Judith Collins: At PCO, the Attorney-General was provided advice on the impact of public service cuts on the Parliamentary Counsel Office throughout the Budget 24 Baseline Savings Exercise. This advice was budget-sensitive and we will therefore not be providing further details. At Crown Law, the Attorney-General was informed of the impacts of workforce reduction as part of the Initial Baseline Exercise. Following on from the Initial Baseline Exercise, further detail has been provided to the Attorney including the number of disestablished roles and redundancies, and the programmes impacted by the baseline savings exercise.
