On 20 May 2024, the Ministry published a range of documents relating to
the independent review into Kâinga Ora – Homes and Communities.

The Office of the Ombudsman has recommended that we detail which documents
relate to which parts of your requests.

You requested the budget of all costs associated with the review. The
maximum budget is recommendation 10 in the Kâinga Ora – Homes and
Communities Independent Review Cabinet paper (page 7):
[1]www.hud.govt.nz/assets/Uploads/Documents/Kainga-Ora-Review/04-Kainga-Ora-Independent-Review-Cabinet-paper.pdf

You asked how much the reviewers would be paid and how it would be
calculated. Each reviewer was paid per day. Their per day and the total
paid to them is available:
[2]www.hud.govt.nz/assets/Uploads/Documents/Kainga-Ora-Review/11-Cost-breakdown.pdf

You also asked for a list of meetings Sir Bill English had with
stakeholders. A list of all stakeholders the panel met with is available:
