Tēnā koe Ashleigh 

 

Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act) to the Ministry of Health (the Ministry) on 3 December 2021 for
information regarding "designated premises" for the purposes of the
COVID-19 Public Health Response (Protections Framework) Order 2021.
You specifically requested:  

 

"In accordance with the Protections Framework, a person seeking goods or
services must not be refused access to the premises of health services
that are partly or wholly funded by the Ministry of Health.

Please urgently supply the following information under the Official
Information Act 1982:

- All premises that are partly or wholly funded by the Ministry of Health.

I understand that a decision on a request for information under the
Official Information Act 1982 should be made within 20 working days of
receiving that request.

However, in the circumstances, I request that this request be treated as
urgent:

- The COVID-19 Public Health Response (Protection Framework) Order 2021
comes into force at 11.59pm on 2 December 2021.
- Legal representatives are required to provide advice on the effect of
the Protection Framework. This is imperative to the right to justice. The
people deserve to know what premises they will not be refused access
from." 

 

The Ministry owns assets however, this is mainly in the form of offices.
The Ministry passes funding to the District Health Boards (DHBs) for
Health sector assets. The Ministry does not hold a central list of all
‘Health” buildings, however this may be held by DHBs.  

 

A full list of DHBs ​and their contact details can be found here:
[1]www.health.govt.nz/new-zealand-health-system/key-health-sector-organisations-and-people/district-health-boards/district-health-board-websites.
 

 

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: [2][email address] or by calling 0800
802 602. 

  

Ngā mihi
