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
