Jaala Pulford from the previous ministry retired at the 2022 election, creating a vacancy in the cabinet. In their places, Enver Erdogan and Natalie Suleyman were promoted to the cabinet.The ministerial portfolios were then announced on 5 December 2022, with ministers sworn in that day. Shing was sworn in on 14 December when her re-election to the Legislative Council was declared and finalised, with Andrews holding on to her portfolios in the interim.
The composition lasted until the resignation of Andrews on 27 September 2023. During this period, only the portfolios of the Minister for Commonwealth Games Delivery and the Minister for Commonwealth Games Legacy were abolished on 20 July 2023 due to the cancellation of the 2026 Commonwealth Games earlier in the month.
