Kia ora Andy,

Thank you for your email received 29th November 2024, in which you submitted an Official Information Act request as follows:

Whenever you are asked about the disestablishment of the Māori health authority, you say that the government preference is to partner with local iwi and Māori groups.

The example that you always give is the immunisation of under two year olds which sounds awesome so I would like to know all the other examples of this approach that the government have taken since coming to office.

I would also like a list of all the meetings you've had "with iwi leaders up and down the country", just the dates and who you met with is fine for now.

Your request is being considered in accordance with the Act, and you can expect a response by 20th January 2025 (date determined by the OIA calculator).

Ngā mihi nui

Kia ora 

Thank you for your email to Hon Dr Shane Reti, Minister of Health and
Minister for Pacific Peoples. We will endeavour to respond to your email
as soon as possible.

Due to the high volume of emails this office receives, we may not be able
to provide you with an individualised response. You may find the following
helpful:

·   If you are a Whangārei constituent contacting Dr Reti about an issue
related to his electorate, your email will be passed to his electorate
office for consideration.

·   Invitations and requests to meet with the Minister will be considered
and we will be in touch with you in due course.

·   Requests for official information will be managed in accordance with
provisions of the Official Information Act (1982), which may include a
transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.

If your email falls outside of the Minister's portfolio responsibilities,
expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple Members of Parliament,
then your email will be noted and may be transferred to another Minister’s
office, or there may be no further response to you.
