Dear Health New Zealand,

I am reaching out to gather some insights under the Official Information Act, specifically regarding the financial aspects of healthAlliance. I've always been impressed by the scale and impact of the work healthAlliance does in supporting our health services, and I'm keen to understand more about the financial foundations that make this possible.

My interest lies in a few key areas, and I would be very grateful if you could help me with the following information:
1. Funding Insights: I'm curious about the various sources that contribute to healthAlliance's funding. Could you share details about where the funding comes from, including government allocations, service fees, or any other significant revenue sources?
2. Financial Overview: For a broader understanding, I would love to see the most recent financial statements or annual reports. It would help me get a sense of how healthAlliance manages its financial resources.
3. Spending Breakdown: I'm particularly interested in how the budget is allocated and spent. Could you provide a breakdown of the last year's expenditures, especially highlighting areas like operational costs, service provision, and staff remuneration?
4. Resource Allocation: Lastly, I'm curious about how funds are distributed across the various services and projects healthAlliance undertakes, especially in support of the District Health Boards.

Thank you so much for considering my request. I understand that you're likely quite busy, and I really appreciate you taking the time to help. According to the Act, I understand I should expect a response within 20 working days, but if you need any more details from my end to assist with this request, please feel free to reach out.

Warm regards,
Liam Murphy
