Thank you for your request for official information, which Pharmac
received on 5 June 2025.

 

We are contacting you as your request, as it currently stands, is for a
very large volume of information. Your request would require
collating hundreds of documents. A significant portion of these are
emails, which also require individual assessment of each piece of
correspondence to discern its contents. This would place an unreasonable
degree of strain on the team responsible and would interfere with the
day-to-day workings of Pharmac. If your request remains very large, we may
need to refuse your request under section 18(f) of the Act because
providing the information you have requested requires substantial
collation or research.

 

Would you be willing to refine your request to the following?

 

“Final versions of formal documents containing Pharmac’s Budget 2025/26
bids, and any briefings sent to the Associate Minister of Health, Hon
David Seymour, concerning final Budget 2025/26 bids”

 

We look forward to hearing back from you.

 

Ngâ mihi
