From: Robin Benson
Dear Ministry of Health,
The Ministry of Health, in the context of PFAS in public water supplies, are quoted in NZ mainstream media as follows:
"Any advice we do provide on [maximum acceptable values] takes in account both international evidence and to what extent that evidence is applicable in a New Zealand context."

Please provide:
(a) the most recent advice the Ministry of Health has given in respect of the current international approach to PFAS in public water supplies, acceptable levels, etc. and
(b) The "international evidence" that advice was based on or confirmed by, and
(c) Any discussions, advice or material concerning the consideration of the advice referred to above "in a New Zealand context".
I confirm I meet the requirements of the OIA in making this request.
Yours faithfully,
Robin Benson
