Dear Tulson

I refer to your official information request for the following
information:

“Could I please have all correspondence from yourself to any minister, DHB
or legal team in regards to the Nurses Pay equity back pay that is still
not settled.”

Te Whatu Ora would like to clarify your request. Could you please confirm

Health? Or the Chief Executive of Te Whatu Ora – Health New Zealand.   

Please note, any clarification or amendment of a request is considered to

We look forward to your response.

information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):

“Could I please have all correspondence from yourself to any minister, DHB

This email is to let you know that Te Whatu Ora needs more time to

If you are not happy with this extension, you have the right to make a
