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 2 December 2022. You requested:
“Under the OIA, I request a copy of the following
Total cost to the taxpayer for the Equity in Health Conference in Auckland (28 - 29 Nov
2022) Via direct or indirect (funding provided to contracted services that had staff attend
eg NGO/Te Whatu Ora, Te Aka Whai Ora,) health funding from the ministry of health
including ticket cost, accommodation/transport/wages of public healthcare professionals
(regulated/nonregulated) that attended or spoke”
Manatū Hauora was not involved in the Equity in Health
conference; however, we understand
Te Whatu Ora (Health New Zealand) and Te Aka Whai Ora were. As such, I have decided to
transfer your request to both agencies under section 14(b)(i) of the Act. You can expect a
response from each agency for information they hold 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
