Dear Christopher

Thank you for your email.
In relation to questions 2(a-g) of your request, the Ministry of Health should cover this in their response to you however in addition our Public Health Unit would be the Auckland Regional Public Health Service which does not sit underneath Counties Manukau Health.

Kind regards,
Sarah
