76530 (2024). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister for Children

76530 (2024). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister for Children: What, if any, activities does Oranga Tamariki have underway to make progress on the priority of enabling communities to take a lead and early response, and what, if any, is the budget allocated to these listed by activity?

Hon Karen Chhour: Oranga Tamariki is supporting nine Enabling Communities prototype partners to design solutions that work for children, young people and families/whānau in their community. As some of these prototypes are still in the development or design phase, I am advised it is not possible provide specific details regarding budget allocation at this time. Oranga Tamariki also allocates more than $500 million to contracted service providers each year.
