Thank you for your email. The Ministry of Health does not release
committee names for safety reasons, therefore your request is withheld in
full under section 9(2)(g)(ii) of the Act, to maintain the effective
conduct of public affairs through the protection of such Ministers,
members of organisations, officers, and employees from improper pressure
or harassment.
Under section 28(3) of the Act you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to
review any decisions made under this request. The Ombudsman may be
contacted by email at: [1][email address] or by calling 0800
802 602.

From: Maxwell
Dear OIA Requests,
Thank you for your response. I am happy to accept that the The Ministry of Health does not release
committee names for safety reasons in accordance with section 9(2)(g)(ii) of the Act.
Can the remaining information be released without compromising the identities of related Medicines Assessment Advisory Committee members?
That information being, each member's:
- relevant professional credentials;
- start and end date (where applicable) of MAAC membership.
Please supply for all current (up to the date of this request 20 Oct 2021) and all historic (as far as records allow) members of the Medicines Assessment Advisory Committee.
Yours sincerely,
Maxwell
