Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
 Act) to Manatû Hauora (the Ministry of Health) on 8 December 2023.
Manatû Hauora does not hold any information relating to your request;
 however, I have been advised that this information is held by Te Whatu Ora
 – Health New Zealand. For this reason, I have decided to transfer your
 request to their agency under section 14(b)(i) of the Act. You can expect
 a response from Te Whatu Ora ([1][email address]) 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: [2][email address] or by calling 0800

    Kia ora Sam,
Thank you for your request which was transferred from the Ministry of
 Health on 12 December 2023 asking for the following:
please would you let me have details of the National birth rates from
 01.01.2017
 - to the 31.05.2022 inclusive, broken down by month and year.
  
I have been in touch with the relevant business unit who have offered to
 respond to this directly. This would be treated as a data request rather
 than the standard approach to requests under the Official Information Act
 1982. This would allow them to engage with you on the particulars of the
 dataset and work collaboratively on this. 
If you are happy to proceed with this approach, please advise and we will
 have someone contact you. 
Ngâ mihi
