Thank you for your request for official information, received on 18
January 2023 for:

" 1) With whom has the Ministry of Health engaged regarding writing of the
Therapeutic Products Bill? 

2)Please include all reports, requests, emails and lobby group engagements
that have facilitated the decision making and writing of this bill,
including minutes of all meetings of pharmaceutical companies with Andrew
Little that discuss this Bill 4)Who is the actual author of the bill
itself?" 

In regard to part 2 of your request, we are contacting you in accordance
with section 18B of the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) as your
request is very broad and as it is currently worded, is for a very large
volume of information. Your request may be refused under section 18(f) of
the Act as the information requested cannot be made available without
substantial collation or research.

In order to provide you with information sooner and in order to work
within a more manageable request, are you happy to refine your request to
formal correspondence only (i.e. briefings, memos) from 2021 to present?

Please respond by 8 February 2023 so that we can consider your refinement
in our response to your request.

Please note, under section 15 of the Official Information Act 1982, any
clarification or amendments made to a request within seven days after the
date it is received, that request may be treated as a new request and the
time limit for the response restarts.

We look forward to receiving your response.
