Dear Abortion Supervisory Committee,

Please supply the following information under the [Official Information Act (OIA) / Local
Government Official Information and Meetings Act (LGOIMA)]:

Records on how many women were denied an abortion in New Zealand in the past 5 years out of the number of abortions applied for, and what grounds they failed to satisfy to obtain an abortion. I would like this information broken down by year.

If you need any more information from me please let me know as soon as possible.

I understand that a decision on a request for information under the [OIA/LGOIMA] should be made within 20 working days of receiving that request.

If you do not normally deal with official information requests, or you need advice on dealing
with this request, guidance is available from the Ombudsman at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.

Yours faithfully,
Olivia
