Is the Pharmacy Council a "New Zealand public authority"?
Gold made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health
The request was successful.
From: Gold
Dear Ministry of Health,
According to the About page[1] on the Pharmacy Council website the Council was "established under the Health Practitioners competence Assurance Act 2003 (HPCAA) and has a duty to protect the public and promote good pharmacist practice."
Does this make the Council a "New Zealand public authority" for the purposes of making an OIA request? [2]
Yours faithfully,
Gold
P.S. I occasionally get pulled up on the name with OIA requests. Gold is my full legal name.
