Subject: Official Information request - Designation powers and functions
in the Covid act, take 2

Dear Health New Zealand and HealthSource,

1 How many infringement notices were issued by authorized enforcement
persons under s 18 (1) (f) of the Covid-19 Public Health Response Act by
Health New Zealand and by HealthSource?
The infringements I'm referring to were for businesses and for
individuals.

2 Who exactly issued these infringements? What were the officers' names
and badge numbers please?
3 What was the authority and jurisdiction to issue these infringement
notices?
4 Where is the official delegation of powers and functions to issue
infringement notices? I do not see any delegations gazette on the New
Zealand Gazette, but I may be missing something.

Unlike OIA

,  please do not transfer this request to the MoJ. This is a request for
information to Health NZ and Health Source who comes under Health NZ.

Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome
