| Report year | Target | Due | Result | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021-22 | ≥ 28 | 2022 | 27 Due to changing work patterns in a remote environment, more briefings were provided in different formats (e.g. email and presentations). It was also an election year, so the opportunities to brief the Minister via notes was shortened. As a result, fewer formal briefing notes and scenario notes were needed. | Not met |
