Tēnā koe Jan,
Transfer of your request for official information
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) to Manatū Hauora
(Ministry of Health) on 18 November 2022. You requested:
“Please can you provide me with the following submissions that was made in late 2021 or
early 2022 to the review process for the Midwifery Council change of Scope of Practice.
The following group appear to have made a submission as well as a leadership group of
midwives.
Ministry of Health - Maternity Team
It is listed on this summary report, but a search has shown that it does not appear to have
been published on the relevant OIA pages of the Ministry.

The requested information is more closely connected to the functions of Te Whatu Ora (Health
New Zealand). For this reason, I have decided to transfer your request to Te Whatu Ora under
section 14(b)(i)(i ) of the Act. You can expect a response from Te Whatu Ora in due course.
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, na
