Dear K
Re: Transfer of request for Official Information– Vulnerable Persons Register
I refer to your official information request dated 5th March which was partially transferred to us from
the Department of Internal Affairs on 11th March 2021 for information about the Vulnerable Persons
Register.
We have transferred questions 1 to 4 and 6 to 8 of your request to the Ministry of Health. Part of the
information to which your request relates, namely, who maintains and collates the registers and the
cost of maintaining it are managed by Clinical Advisory Services Aotearoa (CASA), which is funded by the
Ministry of Health to provide a community suicide postvention response service.
These aspects of your request are not held by us but are believed to be more closely connected with the
functions of the Ministry of Health. In these circumstances, we are required by section 14 of the Official
Information Act to transfer your request.
You will hear further from the Ministry of Health concerning those parts of your request.
We, CM Health wil respond to questions 5 and 10 of your request.
Yours sincerely
Fepulea’i Margie Apa
