Your request for official information, reference: HNZ00070813
Thank you for your email on 30 October 2024, asking Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora for the
fol owing under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):
“I am requesting a copy of the briefings associated with tracking numbers
HNZ00061614
HNZ00061909
HNZ00060825
HNZ00062110
HNZ00065594
HNZ00064988”
Response
Please refer to
Appendix One which provides our decision on the release of documents within
scope of your request. The documents able to be released are attached as
Appendix Two.
Some information within these documents has been withheld under the following sections of the
Act:
• 9(2)(a) of the Act in order to protect the privacy of natural persons. The need to protect the
privacy of these individuals outweighs any public interest in this information.
• 9(2)(f)(iv) of the Act as some information is under active consideration. The release of this
information is likely to prejudice the ability of government to consider advice and the wider
public interest of effective government would not be served.
Where we have withheld information under section 9 of the Act, we have also considered any
countervailing public interests in the release of this information. We do not believe that the public
interests outweigh the need to withhold, in this instance.

If you are not happy with this response, you have the right to make a complaint to the
