Transfer of your request for official information
Thank you for your request transferred to the Ministry of Health (the Ministry) under the Of icial
Information Act 1982 (the Act) on 15 June 2021.
Part of your request asks for:
“We also seek clarification as to how much funding, if any, HealthCare NZ Limited
receives from Hawke's DHB for missed care.”
The Ministry does not hold any information relating to your request; however, I have been
advised that this information is held by the Hawke’s Bay district health board (HBDHB). For this
reason, I have decided to transfer part of your request to HBDHB under section 14 of the Act.
You can expect a response from HBDHB in due course. Please accept my apologies for the
delay in notifying you of this transfer.
Under section 28(3) of the Act you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review any
decisions made under this request. The Ombudsman may be contacted by email at:
[email address] or by calling 0800 802 602.
Nāku noa, nā
