Dear Ministry of Health,

Kia ora,
The Ministry of Health believes the information you have requested is more
closely aligned with the functions of Te Whatu Ora – Health New Zealand.
For this reason, we consulted with Te Whatu Ora regarding the transfer
your request in full under section 14(b)(ii) of the Act. Te Whatu Ora has
informed us that they have also received a request from you for the same
information, therefore, a transfer is not necessary. You can expect a
reply from Te Whatu Ora in due course.
Ngâ mihi,
