Kia ora, I would like to request the total number of recipients of regular social welfare payments as a topline sum followed by a break down by type of welfare payments and the sum of recipients. Eg. Super, unemployment, disability, ACC, WFF etc. Better yet, provide this table on a monthly or quarterly basis.

Not being able to find this data without spending hundreds of hours worth of time doing research and corresponding with a dozen different agencies.

Being transparent.
