55951 (2024). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister for Children: Further to 52444 (2024), what, if anything, will the Minister do if gaps are created in relation to Section 4(1)(b) of the Oranga Tamariki Act 1989 through reprioritisation in community service provision?

Hon Karen Chhour: I refer the Member to Speakers’ Ruling 186/7. Members can ask hypothetical questions but Ministers do not need to respond to the hypotheses.
