Transfer of Official Information Act request: Births, deaths, and marriages
Thank you for your email of 5 September 2022 to the Ministry of Health, regarding an Of icial
Information Act. Your request was partial y transferred to the Ministry of Justice on 17
October 2022. Specifically, you requested:
“If the case goes to births, deaths and marriages what process do they go through for
these deaths? Have DIA been involved in providing settlements to these people as it
doesn't seem to appear through MOH or ACC? A yes or no answer wil suffice.”
We have transferred this part of your request under section 14 of the Act to the Department
of Internal Af airs as it is more closely aligned with its functions. You wil hear further from
the Department in due course.
If you require any further information, please contact Ministry of Justice Media & Social
Media Manager Joe Locke at [email address].
You have the right under section 28(3) of the Act to complain to the Ombudsman about the
decision to transfer your request. The Ombudsman may be contacted by emailing
[email address].
