[FYI request #26707 email] Dear Erika
Thank you for your Official Information Act request received on 29 August 2024. You requested:
I checked this MoH page

And it's now no longer published. Did you supply and communicate with the MoH with
information about that page which they have now removed? If so, would you please share
the communications?
WorkSafe has not communicated with the Ministry of Health on this topic, and we have no control
over what it publishes on its website. I am therefore refusing your request under section 18(e) as
the information you requested does not exist.
For completeness, I can confirm WorkSafe has not engaged with the Ministry of Health on this
topic and does not intend to.
This reply addresses the information you requested. You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to
investigate and review my decision, and further information is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
If you require further assistance, please conta
ct [email address].
Yours sincerely
Braden Sloper
