Dear Polly Adams
Official Information Act request relating to Health Transition Unit key documents on
implementation plan and work programme
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request received on 26 May 2022.
You requested:
“(…) I request copies of key documents showing the implementation plan and work
programme for the transition. I don't want all emails, just useful documents relating to
the implementation plan and work programme, including drafts if the documents are not
yet finalised.”
The plan for reform of New Zealand’s health system as agreed by Cabinet is set out in
proactively released Cabinet papers. These are publicly available and can be accessed here:
https://www.futureofhealth.govt.nz/assets/Uploads/Publications/cabinet-minute-cab-21-sub-
0092-health-and-disability-system-review.pdf
Accordingly, I am refusing your request under section 18(d) of the Act – the information
requested is or will soon be publicly available.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review my decision under
section 28(3) of the Act.
We do not intend to publish this response on the Department of the Prime Minister and
Cabinet’s website.
Yours sincerely
Stephen McKernan QSO
