Your request for official information, reference: HNZ00099353

Al pricing information wil be redacted. Only the information required to establish the above i)-iii) is

Response
As per section 16(2) of the OIA, information must be made available in the manner preferred by the
requester unless doing so would impair ef icient administration or be contrary to legal obligations.
Given the volume of documents involved, providing individual copies would significantly impair
efficient administration.
Therefore, under section 16(1)(e) of the OIA, Health NZ is providing a summary of the contents of
the requested documents rather than copies of each individual purchase, shipping, and packaging
slip. This information is attached in
Appendix One.
