I refer to your official information request dated 6 December 2023 for the
following: 
 
Please supply the following information:
The number of non-directed kidney donations made per year since 2017 (or
as far back as data can easily be collated)
The number of people currently on the wait-list for a kidney transplant in
NZ
The number of people on the wait-list for a kidney transplant that passed
away before a transplant could happen, per year since 2017
This correspondence is to advise you that part of your request (bolded
above) asks for information which is more closely aligned with the
functions of Te Ratonga Toto O Aotearoa - New Zealand Blood Service. For
this reason, Te Whatu Ora has decided to partially transfer your request
to New Zealand Blood Service under section 14(b)(ii) of the Act.  You can
expect a response from New Zealand Blood Service 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: [1][email address] or by calling 0800
802 602. If you have any queries related to this request, please do not
hesitate to get in touch.
