Subject: Official Information request - Relationship with Mr Hamiora

Dear David Clark,

There has been much concern and speculation amongst staff at the Ministry of Health and the wider sector about the potential replacement of Mr Chai Chuah, the current Director General.It has been alleged that you have a personal friendship with Mr Hamiora Bowkett, the current head of policy at the Ministry and this may lead to his promotion to the post of Director-General. This has not been helped by Mr Bowkett's public declaration of his connection with yourself amongst Ministry staff. This of course is a conflict of interest if this is in fact the case.

Under the Official Information Act I request:
1. all correspondence , emails, letters, minutes of meetings between yourself and Mr Bowkett.
2. a statement from yourself as to the nature of the relationship between yourself and Mr Bowkett.

Yours faithfully,

AMasters
