Dear Ministry of Health,

I hereby make this request under the Official Information Act 1982.

I instruct you to release all information pertaining to the
following questions.

1. Does the Ministry of Health offend any of the prescribed
provisions of the Privacy Act 1993, whilst operating under the MoU
between the New Zealand Police, CYF and themselves?

2. What is the Ministry of Health's policy pertaining to
breaches of privacy complaints?

3. Does CYF encourage the Ministry of Heath to make notifications
concerning "suspicions" of child abuse to them?

4. Are Ministry of Health agents held responsible for unfounded
notifications?

5. Can a person acting within their private capacity request
information pertaining to all information shared between agencies
concerning themselves?

6. How many notifications to CYF by the Ministry of Health have
been found groundless and untrue?

7. Is their a breakdown analysis of notifications per each ethnic
group?

8. What is the percentage of notifications that are made about
Maori families?

9. Is the information held by the Ministry of Health private or
available to anyone upon official request?

10. Is the Minister of Health, or the Chief Executive Officer of
the Ministry of Health, responsible for the actions of the
principal of the Ministry of Health, and all sworn agents that are
subject to the Health Act 1956?

I look forward to your response.

Yours faithfully,

Lance-Desmond: Lavery

Without Prejudice.
