Kia ora Harold,

 

Thank you for your request for official information received on for:

 

"In a 24 June letter to Associate Minister of Health Dr Ayesha Verrall,
the Strategic COVID-19 Public Health Advisory Group advised that “the
contact tracing capacity of public health units needs to be reviewed...”
If this review has been completed, I request a copy.

 

The same letter advised the minister that “there needs to be a review of
health system capacity and management systems for dealing with possible
large outbreaks of COVID-19.” If this review has been completed, I request
a copy of this as well.

 

Finally, a 25 August update on the Ministry of Health website stated that
“an additional testing requirement is being introduced to Managed
Isolation Facilities… This is a recommendation following the review of the
Crowne Plaza case.” I request a copy of this review.”

 

The Ministry's reference number for your request is: H202111153.

 

As required under the Official Information Act 1982, the Ministry will
endeavour to respond to your request no later than 23 September 2021,
being 20 working days after the day your request was received.

 

Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic response, the Ministry is experiencing
significantly higher volumes of queries and requests for information. If
we are unable to respond to your request within this time frame, we will
notify you of an extension of that time frame.

 

If you have any queries related to this request, please do not hesitate to
get in touch.

 

Ngâ mihi
