Would you kindly share these "equity production plans" for Maori and Pacific at the DHBs including their allocated budget versus actual amounts spent for these "equity production plans".

Dear hnzOIA,
The table you refer to has numbers. It’s not a plan but the results of the plan or programme.
Under the Act, I am requesting the Programme
documents including funding and actual spend figures for the equity production Programme, for example actual budget items for drive though events, buses, their advertising, the programme documents with goals, budget etc.
Yours sincerely,
Erika Whittome
From: hnzOIA

As per our response to you dated 17 June 2025, the “equity production
plans” you referred to in [1]H202116597 Document 2 part 5.pdf does not
relate to any financial payments or workstreams.
The Equity Production Plan mentioned in that document relates to a table
of COVID-19 vaccine rollout for all district health boards, and as
previously advised, publicly available through this
link: [2]H202111486_Response_(1).pdf.
That Equity Production Plan table shows the number of doses by planned by
each district health board with Equity distribution by Māori, Pacific
Peoples and Other.
Under section 18(e) of the OIA, Health NZ is refusing your request for
“Programme documents including funding and actual spend figures for the
equity production Programme, for example actual budget items for drive
though events, buses, their advertising, the programme documents with
goals, budget etc”, as this information does not exist.
The following link to information may be of interest: [3]DHB COVID-19
vaccination plans (March 2021 – June 2021)
If you are not happy with this response, you have the right to make a
complaint to the Ombudsman. Information about how to do this is available
at [4]www.ombudsman.parliament.nzor by phoning 0800 802 602.
