Dear Health New Zealand,

I am a New Zealand citizen currently located within New Zealand. Under the Official Information Act 1982, I request the following information:

As at 18 June 2025, has Health New Zealand (including the Ambulance Team or any other area) received a copy of the 2025 PWC ambulance remuneration review report commissioned by Hato Hone St John?

If so, please provide a full copy of that report, including the date it was received by Health New Zealand.
If the report has not been received, please provide any information held on when Health NZ expects to receive it.

I also request all internal communication and documentation held by Health NZ relating to the preparation of the response to my previous OIA request (reference HNZ00088333), including but not limited to:
1. Internal emails
2. Drafts of the response
3. Communications between the Ambulance Team and the Government Services/OIA team 4. Any related communications with St John.
5. Any advice or commentary received regarding how my OIA request should be interpreted or answered.

I found the phrasing in your response particularly interesting — specifically the line:

“At the date of your request, the Ambulance Team had not received a copy of the report.”

This wording appears deliberately narrow and suggests the situation may have changed since my original request. For clarity and transparency, I am seeking confirmation of whether the report has since been received, and if so, a copy of it.

I would prefer to receive this information in electronic format. If any part of my request is likely to be refused, I ask that you consider whether the information can be provided in part, or with appropriate redactions under the Act.

Thank you,
Pat
