Sorry for the delay in responding. May I suggest the following refinement
to your request for information for your consideration.

The amount of expenditure on communication consultants and consulting
firms for external communications with the public.
A list of Hospitals that are currently charging for public car parking and
who holds the contracts to run the carparks (eg Wilson’s Parking).
A list of Hospitals currently charging staff for carparking.
Health NZ’s performance against its five health targets.

If you could please confirm you are happy to progress the request for the
above information or otherwise that would be appreciated.

We look forward to receiving your response.

Morgan,

Frankly, I'm baffled that such a clearly defined request is being
dismissed as too broad when it specifically targets all preventable deaths
in Auckland hospitals over the past five years. I'm not asking for endless
mountains of data - I’m simply asking for the hard facts that our public
healthcare system should have on record. Back in my day, transparency
wasn’t some lofty ideal; it was just expected.

So, tell me exactly what part of my request you find too broad. Give me
clear, specific guidance on how I can narrow it down to meet your
requirements. I expect straightforward answers without the usual
bureaucratic waffle. Families and taxpayers deserve real transparency on
the failures that have led to preventable deaths, and it's high time we
got to the bottom of this.

Yours sincerely,

Brian Thompson
