Dear E Cooper

Thank you for your request for official information, received by the
Ministry of Health on 05 June 2015, requesting:

        How many cases of malaria have been contracted by NZ citizens in
the last 12 months? How many of those malaria cases have been contracted
by tourist visits to resorts on Efate, Vanuatu? Can the results be
differentiated by age and per month?

Your request has been received and logged.  As required under the Official
Information Act 1982, the Ministry will respond to your request within 20
working days.  You should receive a response on or before 03 July 2015.

If a large amount of information has been requested or if the Ministry
needs to consult in order to make a decision, we may need to extend this
date (this is provided for in section 15A of the Act).  We will advise you
if such an extension is necessary.

The Ministry's reference number for your request is: H201502034

Yours sincerely
