Tēnā koe Jai,
Official information request, HNZ00007403
I refer to your official information request, which was transferred from Manatū Hauora (the
Ministry of Health) to Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand on 24 November 2022, for the
following:
“Please provide the number of all cause deaths from 2016-2022 broken down by
month and age group. I'd also like the number of births for the same period broken
down by month. I'm sure NZ logs Births and Deaths with regularity so it should be
an easy find, if not, please point me to the right agency.”
This correspondence is to advise you that we have transferred your request in full to
Statistics New Zealand. This is because the information to which your request relates is
believed to be more closely connected with the functions of Statistics New Zealand. In
these circumstances, we are required by section 14 of the Official Information Act to
transfer your request.
You should expect to hear from Statistics New Zealand in due course about your request.
If you need to get in touch with Statistics New Zealand, you can contact them at
[email address].
If you are not happy with this response, you have the right to make a complaint to the
Ombudsman. Information about how to do this is available at
http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by phoning 0800 802 602.
