Transfer of your request for official information
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) to Manatū Hauora
(the Ministry of Health) on 10 July 2023. You requested:
“Can you please provide me with the cancer statistics for Marton, NZ.
I am looking for data on how many people in Marton have cancer, and what types of
cancer do those people have.”
Manatū Hauora does not hold any information relating to your request; however, I have been
advised that this information is more closely related to the functions of Te Whatu Ora – Health
New Zealand. For this reason, I have decided to transfer your request to their agency under
section 14(b)(ii) of the Act. You can expect a response from Te Whatu Ora in due course.
Under section 28(3) of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review any
decisions made under this request. The Ombudsman may be contacted by email at:
[email address] or by calling 0800 802 602.
