Dear Ben Mayson
Response to your request for official information
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) on 9 September
2020 to the Ministry of Health (the Ministry) for:
“Amount paid out under the Ministry of Health Hearing aid subsidy scheme, by Quarter
and by region / sub-region, for the past 10 years
I would like to request information on the amount ($) paid out under the Ministry of Health
Hearing aid subsidy scheme, by Quarter and by region / sub-region”
Information regarding the monthly hearing aid subsidy expenditure from July 2011 to June 2020
is enclosed as Document 1. The Ministry does not hold information for the hearing aid subsidy
expenditure by quarter and region or subregion, as such your request for this information is
refused under section 18(g) of the Act. However, this information is available at a national level
and has been provided to you broken down by month and year. Please be advised that
information deemed out of scope has been excluded.
I trust this information fulfils your request. Under section 28(3) of the Act you have the right to
ask the Ombudsman to review any decisions made under this request.
Please note that this response, with your personal details removed, may be published on the
Ministry website.
Yours sincerely
Adri Isbister
Deputy Director-General
