57329 (2025). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Minister for Social Development and Employment: What groups or individuals were funded through the Ministry of Social Development's Employment Placement Services (EPS) during 2025, by name and region?

Hon Louise Upston: : I am advised that the Ministry of Social Development (the Ministry) is unable to provide the information sought by the Member within a written parliamentary question timeframe as it would take substantial collation and engagement and require the Ministry to divert personnel from their core duties. In accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 210/6, I consider that the time, and hence the expense, of answering these questions within this timeframe is not in the public interest.
