This is a Government that consults extensively, as you can see, both internally and externally. The Ministry of Health consulted widely on the SOP policy proposal, both during its presentation—including with the Treasury, the Department of Internal Affairs, the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, the Ministry for Pacific Peoples, the Ministry of Social Development, Oranga Tamariki, and Te Puni Kōkiri—and, in the interests of scrutiny and debate, the policy change in this SOP will be referred to the Health Committee for some further public submissions.
