whether this can be watermarked (or in some way reflected) that it is not government

policy / working draft… or are we stuck with the fact that this was not on the slide deck (ie

If the answer to the above is no (which I expect it is) then I expect that there will need to be

Tēnā koe Jeeves,
Thank you for your email asking for the following information under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
1982
"Please provide, as a matter of urgency (due to the unprecedented speed of the current
'Health Reset'):
a) The information referred to which the staff member disclosed, and the Commissioner
referred to, in full.
b) all correspondence (including Text messages, TEAMS messages or meetings,
Emails and /or any other means) between (either received or sent) the Commissioner
and/or his Deputies (or their Officers), or Health NZ Chief Executive or her Office, in any
direction, which refer in any way to this disclosed information, for the period covering
from Midnight Monday 12th August, and Midnight Wednesday 14th August."
under the OIA
This email is to let you know that Health NZ needs more time to make a decision on
your request.
The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20
working days after the day we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be
possible to meet that time limit, and we are therefore writing to notify you of an
Released
extension of the time to make our decision, to 9 October 2024.
This extension is required because the consultations required are such that a proper
response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
If you have any questions, please contact us at [email address]
If you are not happy with this extension, you have the right to make a complaint to the
Ombudsman. Information about how to do this is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by phoning 0800 802 602.

August 2024. From my understanding, Mark chaired the hui that day.
I am aware of an email that Fionnagh Dougan sent following the meeting but am just
checking in to see if Mark sent anything further to this. Could you please have a look

to see if any emails went out from Mark to all invitees/attendees following this hui.

Kia ora Mark and Laurie,
Appreciate you both providing comments.
I will make the suggested changes to the letter and continue this on to the various
individuals for review before we send this off. @Laurie Edwards regarding the
suggestion to remove Jo Lusk’s name I will make sure to consult with her before
release, however, our general approach is to release names in full.1982
I have attached a link to the Ombudsman’s guidance around withholding ‘draft’
documents under free and frank or obligation of confidence.
https://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/resources/oia-and-draft-documents-guide-
how-oia-applies-requests-draft-documents
In this instance I do not think we meet the threshold for withholding this document.
There is high public interest in the release of information from Health NZ at the
moment given our current situation. This presentation has generated at least four
requests that I am aware of for both the presentation and subsequent
correspondence in response to this presentation. These requests have come from
under the OIA
Unions, Media and Political Parties.
s 9(2)(h)
I think the narrative we are providing in the letter as well as the emails in the appendix
Released
clearly show the context around the presentation and the fact that this is not final
plans or decisions. Noting that I think the best approach is to provide the emails to
requestors as part of the appendix even if they have not specifically asked for them.
H&SS had asked us about applying a ‘draft/not government policy’ watermark to this
document, however, we have advised against this as this was not how the document
was presented at the time.

I was wondering if you might be able to assist in reviewing the following response. It is

All requests are from unions, political parties or media.
Noting that once the wording for this response is confirmed it will be a copy and

I have included some context based on what I know, however, I would appreciate if
there was some additional wording or context that comms could provide that might
help this response.

It is likely that Peter Alsop along with Margie/Lester and other members of ELT and
the Ministers Office will review before it is sent off, so I am just wanting some comms
insight on it now before sending on to them.
I would appreciate if you could review or send on to the relevant people and get back

The OIA requests the “information referred to which the staff member disclosed” –
you have attached the full presentation which ifs more than what has been
requested. I suggest this be limited to what has been requested only from the power
point

The appendix also has emails with all of the staff members listed that this was sent to

be redacted given the level her position is within the structure If it is decided that this

Subject: RE: Draft response for OIAs (HSS Budget Presentation 13 Aug) (Due COP 8 Oct)
That is the version of the presentation that H&SS provided us. That would have to be
confirmed by someone who attended. Neither Jo or Chirs/Mark S raised any concerns
regarding this but I can double check with them if you would like.

The green highlights in the presso, were they in what was delivered? Or are they something

Attached are the four responses and appendix.
For the most part the wording is the same across the responses, except where there
have been additional questions asked.
s 9(2)(h)
Mark Sleeman/Laurie Edwards s 9(2)(h)
The approach I was thinking is that we provide all
requestors with the full appendix as it currently stands as this helps paint the
complete picture around the presentation and subsequent emails, Lesters
1982
comments afterwards etc. However, open to thoughts on this.
Thx

Kia ora Pete,
I have heard back from Jo and Chris on the release of this presentation. Chris had
some concerns that we were releasing the whole presentation, however, I advised
that we have had multiple OIAs asking for this. Jo had no concerns with the release of
the material or her name.
This should now be good to for Margie/Lester. Dani and I will sort noting with
Ministers Office.
Thx

Kia ora Pete,
Health NZ has received five requests at this stage from political parties, unions,
media and members of the public via FYI asking for the H&SS presentation given on
13 August and correspondence relating to this.
I have attached the draft response for two of these requests alongside the appendix.
Released
The plan is to essentially copy and paste the response once approved across the five
requests.
The additional OIA’s include:
“All correspondence and/or advice relating to the slide presented to Health New
Zealand staff on Tuesday 13 August 2024, relating to $701.8m in additional savings.
This should include but not be limited to emails, text messages, and instant
messaging.
All responses and/or reactions to that slide from staff at Health New Zealand. This
should include but not be limited to emails, text messages, and instant messaging.”
“… a) The information referred to which the staff member disclosed, and the
Commissioner referred to, in full.
b) all correspondence (including Text messages, TEAMS messages or meetings,
Emails and /or any other means) between (either received or sent) the Commissioner
and/or his Deputies (or their Officers), or Health NZ Chief Executive or her Office, in
any direction, which refer in any way to this disclosed information, for the period
covering from Midnight Monday 12th August, and Midnight Wednesday 14th August.”
“A copy of the leadership presentation given on Tuesday, August 14 , 2024 and all
internal memos and documents pertaining to this meeting.”
s 9(2)(h)
Additionally, Mark Sleeman and Laurie Edwards have completed a comms review
1982
and provided some of the wording for these responses.
Noting that Dani provided me with the redactions for the email between Margie and
OIA
Lester which was found to be within scope of these requests.
the
If you could review and
provide any feedback by close of play 8 October that would
be appreciated.
I will send this onto Margie and Lester for their review as well as consult with Mark
under
Shepherd and Joanne Lusk as they are named in various emails. Dani and I have also
spoken about noting these with Minister Reti’s Office.
Please let me know if you think there is anyone else you think needs to be across
these responses before their release.
