55915 (2025). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Associate Minister of Education: How many lunches meant to serve specific dietary or religious needs were delivered late during the week of November 17th 2025?

Hon David Seymour: I am advised that the Ministry of Education (the Ministry) does not track lunches across all suppliers and internal meal providers in the programme on a weekly basis. During the week of 17 November 2025, the School Lunch Collective (SCL) delivered 393,851 meals. The SLC informed the Ministry that two schools received their lunches late. This equated to 17 special diet or religious lunches received late.
