Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail the co-design stakeholders contacted as part of the review of Welfare Reform mitigations; and to provide a copy of the minutes of the meetings since 2020 with those stakeholders.

Answer:

Due to the ongoing need to prioritise my Department’s response to the pandemic the progress the review of welfare reform mitigations has been hindered. The review will include a range of interest groups so that their voices are heard on these important issues. Details of the format of the review, including engagement with stakeholders, will be shared with the Committee for Communities at the earliest opportunity.
