Dear Health New Zealand,

MedTech is New Zealand's largest Practice Management System, and thereby directly and indirectly funded by Health New Zealand, nationally.

MedTech's data management system involves central aggregation of data. Outline what data is stored, what MedTech does with this data, whether the monetisation of this data is within the scope of HNZ's arrangements with MedTech, what steps are taken to ensure this data is kept private and secure, and not sold for commercial purposes such to pharmaceutical companies. Outline what steps HNZ takes to ensure New Zealanders are informed that their data is being used for commercial purposes, from the MedTech platform.

Outline any accreditation, audits or assessments that Health New Zealand has undertaken on this software since Health New Zealand began (2022).

Yours faithfully,

Rodney Parsons
