Dear OIA Requests,

Please would you share further information on these fines from the MoH.

1. Who exactly issued these fines?

2. What is the authority and jurisdiction to issue these fines?

3. Where is the delegation? I do not see any gazzetted on the New Zealand
Gazette, but I may be missing something.

 

Yours sincerely,

Response to your request for official information

 

Thank you for your requests under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act) to the Ministry of Health – Manatû Hauora (the Ministry) on 5 June
2024 for follow up information regarding your previous request (ref:
H2024040530). You requested:

 

The second part of my request for information has not been provided. Where
and when were those functions and powers published? How were the functions
and powers notified? Where's the gazette notices, please and date?

I am not asking for information on what the requirements are for such
authorisations to be published or gazetted under the Act. I am asking how
the authorizations were promulgated. Where and when were those functions
and powers published? How were the functions and powers notified? Where's
the gazette notices, please and date?”

 

The Ministry believes we have satisfied your information requests which
have been answered in our previous responses to you (refers: H2024040530,
H2024039112, H2024038079 & H2024035624). As we stated in our last response
ref: H2024040530 there was no requirement for such authorisations to be
published hence there was no publication or notification of these
authorisations.

 

The Ministry of Health stands by its decision and has nothing further to
add and at this point, any further requests for this information are
declined under section 18(h) of the Act as frivolous or vexatious.

 

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: [email address] or by calling 0800 802
602.

 

Please note that this response, with your personal details removed, may be
published on the Manatû Hauora website at:
[1]www.health.govt.nz/about-ministry/information-releases/responses-official-information-act-requests.
