Response to this request is long overdue. By law Andrew Little should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.

From: Athina Andonatou

Dear Andrew Little,
One of Labour's election promises was to invest an extra $6 billion to upgrade our hospitals and health infrastructure https://www.labour.org.nz/health. My questions are:
1) How much of this money has been used/invested?
2) Who are the recipients?
3) How much did each recipient receive? And
3) What was it spent on?

I look forward to your reply

Yours faithfully,
Athina
