Response to your request for official information
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) to the Ministry of
Health – Manatū Hauora (the Ministry) on 7 September 2025 for:
I am working on an article on subversion of international organizations by the regime that
claims authority to rule in Taiwan Province, part of the People's Republic of China.
Please provide a list of dates and subjects of emails to/from Andrew Old, sent to/from
email addresses ending '.tw', between the dates 1 June 2024 and 1 June 2025, that
contain any of the following keywords:
* bank
* money
* funding
* transaction
* trip
* visit
* WHO
The Ministry has searched its records and did not find any emails sent or received by Dr Andrew
Old from email addresses ending in “.tw”, containing any of the key words listed above.
Therefore, your request is refused under section 18(g)(i) of the Act, as the information
requested is not held by the Ministry and there are no grounds for believing it is held by another
agency subject to the Act.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this decision, please feel
free to contact the OIA Services Team on
: [email address].
Under section 28(3) of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review any
decisions made under this request. The Ombudsman may be contacted by email at:
[email address] or by calling 0800 802 602.
Please note that this response, with your personal details removed, may be published on the
Ministry website at:
