Preferred suppliers for glasses

Leyland Palmer made this Official Information request to Ministry of Social Development

The request was successful.

From: Leyland Palmer

Dear Ministry of Social Development,

Please advise why your web (https://www.workandincome.govt.nz/map/in...) only lists SpecSavers as the preferred supplier for glasses? Don't you have other preferred suppliers or are SpecSavers the 'preferred' preferred supplier? I would like a copy of all the correspondence used to decide what went in to this What's new for 1 June 2021.

Yours faithfully,

Leyland Palmer
