The meeting minutes for the COVID-19 Technical Advisory Group
([1]https://www.health.govt.nz/about-ministr...)
span across seven months of weekly meetings and would involve a
substantial amount of collation and therefore may be refused under section
18(f) of the Act. If it is possible for you to narrow the scope of your
request by selecting a shorter time frame, we may be able to provide you
with information.

If you wish to discuss this purposed refinement further please feel free
to do so.
