Investigation into the Adverse Effects of 5G and/or Wireless Technology

T Dobbie made this Official Information request to Health New Zealand

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for T Dobbie to read recent responses and update the status.

From: T Dobbie

Dear Health New Zealand,

1. Provide the following under the usual terms and as expressed below:

Provide details of the funding allocated or allocated in the past (whether used by Health New Zealand/Ministry of Health or Te Whata Ora or others) for research and/or studies into any and all effects on the human body from:
a) 5G cellular technology and
b) Small cell technology and
c) Millimetre wave technology

2. Provide contact for specialised experts within Health New Zealand (or other orgs) researching the effects of any and all types of 5G radiation/millimetre technology on the human body?

3. If people/children are at risk, harmed or injured from EMF radiation, who will provides the health care, what are the costs, and what is the funding allocation?

4. What are the proven processes, guidelines and advice for people who are sensitive or hypersensitive to [electromagnetic radiation]?

I respectively request an early reply as the WHO regards wireless radiation exposure as a Class 2B risk. Also, other bodies are asking for this to be reviewed due to there being new hazards. This technology is currently being trialled in New Zealand and due to be rolled out in May 2026.

Nga mahe,

T Dobbie
