Dear Mr Potts
Response to your request for official information Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) to the Hon Dr
David Clark on 1 April 2020 for:
“When were you first briefed on the contents of a report titled "Modelled Estimates for
the Spread and Health Impact of Covid-19 in New Zealand"?
Did you discuss the contents of this report with the Prime Minister; if so, when?”
Your request for this information is refused under section 18(e) of the Act, as it does not
exist. This office was not briefed on a report with the title you have identified.
I trust this information fulfils your request. You have the right under section 28(3) to ask the
Ombudsman to review any decisions made under this request.
Yours sincerely
Jonathan Gee
Private Secretary
Office of the Minister of Health
