Dear Ministry of Health,

The Ministry of Health required Councils under s116G to give written
comments on estimated financial costs of adding fluoride to drinking
water, including any additional costs of ongoing management and
monitoring.

It is understood that some original financial costs have been revised as
councils move closer to the deadline imposed by the Director General and
understand more clearly the costs involved.

Ministry of Health from these councils:

Whangārei District Council
Western Bay of Plenty District Council
Waitaki District Council
Waipa District Council
Tauranga City Council
Tararua District Council
Rotorua Lakes Council
New Plymouth District Council
Nelson City Council
Kawerau District Council

Kia ora J Bruning,
Thank you for your email.
On 24 November 2023, you received a partial response from Manatū Hauora
(the Ministry of Health) in regard to the first part of your request
(H2023032680 refer).  
You were further advised that Manatū Hauora had identified a number of
documents to be within scope of the second part of your request. However,
the period of time of available to respond to that part of your request
was extended under section 15A of the Act, as consultations were deemed
necessary to make a decision that a proper response to that part of your
request could not be made within the original time limit. You can expect a
response to the second part of your request on or before 22 December 2023.

Ngā mihi
