Partial transfer of 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 8 October 2025. You requested:
“I noted, Other health committees
https://www.health.govt.nz/about-us/new-zealands-health-system/health-system-roles-
and-organisations/health-committees-and-boards/other-health-committees
You have following committees listed on your website,
End of Life Review Committee
Health Workforce and System Efficiencies Committee
Medsafe committees
National Cervical Screening Programme Review Committee
National Kaitiaki Group
Psychoactive Substances Appeals Committee
Psychoactive Substances Expert Advisory Committee
Radiation Safety Advisory Council

Could you please provide the pay rate for each committee, along with the names of
current members and their appointment terms (including start and end dates)?
Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could share a sample appointment letter issued to
members for each committee. Please feel free to redact any personal information as
needed.”
The Ministry does not hold information relating to the National Kaitiaki Group; however, I have
been advised that this information is more closely connected to the functions of Health New
Zealand – Te Whatu Ora. For this reason, I have decided to transfer the part of your request
related to National Kaitiaki Group under section 14(b)(ii) of the Act. You can expect a response
from Health New Zealand in due course. They can be contacted at:
[email address].
The Ministry would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused by the delay in the partial
transfer of your request.
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.
Nāku noa, na
