This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Dr Marley to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Dr Marley
Kia Ora James Shaw,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Dr. Marley, and I am a practicing medical professional in New Zealand. I am reaching out to you under the Official Information Act 1982.
In my role, I am deeply aware of the intersection of climate change and public health, and I am keen to understand more about the strategies that the Ministry for Climate Change is adopting to address these interconnected issues. Specifically, I am interested in the measures taken to ensure health equity in the context of climate change.
In accordance with the Act, I kindly request the following information:
1) An outline of the Ministry's current policies and strategies aimed at addressing health inequities exacerbated by climate change.
2) Key achievements of the Ministry over the past five years that have contributed towards reducing health inequities and mitigating the health impacts of climate change.
3) A summary of the Ministry's planned initiatives for the next two years to address health inequities and mitigate the health impacts of climate change.
4) Details of any studies commissioned by the Ministry in the last three years that specifically relate to health inequities and the health impacts of climate change.
Please note that, as per section 12(1) of the Act, I am a New Zealand citizen/resident and am currently in New Zealand.
I look forward to your response within the 20 working days as outlined by the Act. If you require any clarification regarding this request, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Ngā mihi,
Dr. Marley

Kia ora Dr Marley,
On behalf of Hon James Shaw, thank you for your official information request dated Monday, 15 May 2023 requesting information from "The Ministry", as per below, in relation to health equity in the context of climate change.
It appears likely that your original request will need to be clarified or amended to enable us to response. Please note, any clarification or amendment of a request is considered to be a new request for the purpose of calculating the maximum statutory timeframe for response (see section 15(1aa) of the OIA.
Can we please clarify which Ministry you require the information from? Are you seeking information from the Ministry for the Environment? We believe that the Ministry that would be the best fit for your request would be the Ministry of Health. Are you happy for your OIA request to be transferred to the Minister for Health, Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall?
Look forward to hearing from you,
Ngā mihi
Eve
