Dear Samuel
Response to your request for information
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) on 6 February
2025 to the Minister of Health, Hon Simeon Brown. You requested:
“1. Can I request any comms, advise etc. received by or sent from your office re re-
merging Health NZ and Ministry of Health as it was before July 2022 when labour set
all wrong priorities and wasted our taxpayers money so much that pushed our
beautiful country into recession and health system in the deeper end”
Searches of our information systems have not identified any information that falls in scope of
your request. Therefore, section 18(e) of the Act applies.
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.
Yours sincerely
Brian Anderton
Senior Ministerial Advisor
