Dear J Thurston

 

Thank you for your request of 21 October 2017, asking for information on
costs, and fatalities, associated with measles and mumps.

 

Your request is being transferred to the Ministry of Health under section
14(b)(ii) of the Official Information Act 1982. This is because the
information to which this part of your request relates is more closely
connected with the functions or activities of that Ministry.

 

The Ministry of Health will be in touch with you shortly.

 

If you have any questions regarding this decision, you can write to us by
return email.

 

Yours sincerely,

Government Engagement and Support

Dear J Thurston

Thank you for your request for official information, received by the
Ministry of Health on 31 October 2017.

You requested:

I would like to request information on the costs of mumps and measles
cases, including, if known, any impacts and quality-life-adjusted years. I
would also like to request the number of fatalities due to measles or
mumps per year since 2008/09.

Your request has been received and logged.  You can expect a reply no
later than 28 November 2017 as required under the Official Information Act
1982.

Please note that a working day is defined in the Act as ‘any day of the
week other than a Saturday, Sunday, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Anzac Day,
Labour Day, the Sovereigns birthday, Waitangi Day and a day in the period
commencing 25 December in any year and ending 15 January in the following
year.

If a large amount of information has been requested or if the Ministry
needs to consult in order to make a decision, we may need to extend this
date (this is provided for in section 15A of the Act).  We will advise you
if such an extension is necessary.

The Ministry's reference number for your request is: H201703887

Yours sincerely,
