Dear Sir
RE Official Information Act request WCDHB 9301
I refer to your email dated 21 March 2019 to Ministry of Health which they subsequently partially transferred to us
on 17 April 2019 requesting the following information under the Official Information Act from West Coast DHB
Specifically.
All information regarding funding, contracts, communications, applications for funding, contracts, provision
of services and all other matters, made to an organisation known as 'Nga Hau E Wha',
Management and co-
ordination of Nga Hau E Wha (NHEW), and all previous contracts with this organisation.
I further request:
all information held by the District Health Boards regarding the Chairperson (or former
Chairperson) Victoria Roberts, and others associated with NHEW including Jak Wild and Tui Taurua
Peihopa - in particular any and all communication with Tui Taurua Peihopa or anyone from the
organisation NHEW regarding the letter sent to her in about June last year regarding her misleading claim
to being a "clinician".
The West Coast DHB does not hold any information pertaining to Nga Hau E Wha (NHEW) or anyone
associated with that organisation. We are therefore declining your request under section 18(g) of the
Official Information Act.
I trust that this satisfies your interest in this matter.
Please note that this response, or an edited version of this response, may be published on the West Coast DHB
website after your receipt of this response.
Yours sincerely
Carolyn Gullery
Executive Director
