Thank you for your email. The Ministry of Health does not release
committee names for safety reasons, therefore your request is withheld in
full under section 9(2)(g)(ii) of the Act, to maintain the effective
conduct of public affairs through the protection of such Ministers,
members of organisations, officers, and employees from improper pressure
or harassment.
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: [1][email address] or by calling 0800
802 602.
