Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic response, the Ministry is experiencing
significantly higher volumes of queries and requests for information. This
means we may take some time in responding to your request. The Ministry
regularly updates information about the COVID-19 situation and publishes
OIA responses considered to be of public interest:

Kia ora Will,  

 

Thank you for your request for official information, received on 24 May
for: 

 

Please release all details you have about the WHO treaty, including any
draft contracts emails etc. 

 

We are contacting you in accordance with section 18B of the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act).  As your request currently stands, the
information that you have requested would require a substantial amount of
time to collate. It would also involve a manual search across a number of
teams within the Ministry and other government agencies. As such, it may
be refused under section 18(f) of the Act. 

 

In order to refine your request, please specify which “details” you are
seeking in relation to the development of a convention, agreement, or
other international instrument to strengthen pandemic prevention,
preparedness and response. 

 

Please respond by 13 June 2022 so that we can consider your refinement in
our response to your request. 

 

We look forward to receiving your response. 

Ngâ mihi
