Dear Mr McIntosh

Thank you for your request for official information, received by the
Ministry of Health on 24 May 2018. The Ministry's reference number for
your request is: H201803877.

You requested:

"On average how many children are diagnosed with autism in New Zealand
each year ?
Is there a link between vaccinations and autism ?
Have any children been diagnosed with autism that were not vaccinated ?
How much money is spent by lobbyists to push vaccinations ?
Is any of this information withheld or suppressed to the public  for
commercial reasons ?"

Your request has been logged and you can expect a reply no later than 22
June 2018 as required under the Official Information Act 1982.

Please note that a working day is defined in the Act as ‘any day of the
week other than a Saturday, Sunday, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Anzac Day,
Labour Day, the Sovereigns birthday, Waitangi Day and a day in the period

If a large amount of information has been requested or if the Ministry

if such an extension is necessary.

Yours sincerely,
