Notice Title

Note: Section 124 (1B) of the Social Security Act 1964, requires that a welfare programme established and approved by the Minister under section 124 (1) (d), must be published in the New Zealand Gazette as soon as practicable after it is approved. Due to an error the Childcare Assistance Welfare Programme Amendment (approved on 22 March 1999) has not been previously published.

Note that the Schedule to the welfare programme has since been amended on 27 March 2000 (published in the
New Zealand Gazette, 30 March 2000, page 725).
