Subject: Official Information Act request - Number/ name and location of providers that CYFS have agreements with in relation to provision of supervised supportive accommodation for mothers and infants

Dear Ministry of Social Development,
I am interested to know the number/ names and locations of supervised/ supportive accommodation providers for vulnerable pregnant women/ or mothers that have infants, who have an agreement with CYFS to provide this service where children are under CYFS care and protection. Further I would like to know the proportion of women who come through these services say per year over the last five years, on a yearly basis per region. Are these figures are available in comparison to the actual rate of babies that are uplifted from their mothers within the first 60 days of life, due to vulnerable circumstances? i.e what proportion of women who are identified as pregnant or a new mother to a vulnerable infant are housed in such a facility with their infant, compared to those that have their child removed from their care.

Yours faithfully,

Bronwyn Drysdale
