Subject: Official Information request - Any stipulated St John Ambulance
Funding Conditions

Dear Ministry of Health,

I believe you have provided funding to Hato Hone St John (Ambulance
Service) - both currently and historically. Would you please confirm (or
otherwise) the imposition/stipulation of any condition or conditions of
funding that forbids or prohibits St John Ambulance from publicly
divulging any statistical data (particularly up-to-date, detailed data
[excluding personal patient information, of course]) pertaining to the
significantly increased volume of call outs, NZ wide, within the past
12-18 months.

In the interests of total transparency, if any such condition(s) has/have
been imposed, please disclose those terms/condition(s) as per the funding
agreement between the Ministry and St John. This is particularly relevant
and important as St John appear to be manifestly reluctant to
share/disclose any up-to-date data relating to the surge in call outs over
the past 2 years.

As taxpayers are funding both the Ministry and St John, I am of the view
the public have a right to be fully and unambiguously informed.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Mari Kennedy
