59790 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister for the Environment: What is the total sum, if any, of redundancy payments made to staff at ministries, departments and agencies, if any, for which the Minister is responsible during the period 27 November 2023 - 17 September 2024, by month and agency?

Hon Penny Simmonds: I refer the Member to the attached table which shows the total redundancy payments made by the Ministry for the Environment between 27 November 2023 and 17 September 2024, broken down by month. I am advised the Ministry for the Environment has only made voluntary redundancy payments to staff. The Ministry's change process is still ongoing and further redundancy payments will be made as part of this process. The Environmental Protection Authority has made no redundancy payments between 27 November 2023 and 17 September 2024.
