14288 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health

14288 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What feedback, if any, has he received from public health professionals on recent government policies or directives?

Hon Simeon Brown: I refer the Member to Written Parliamentary Question 14287 (2025). My office does not hold a central record of what has been discussed at my meetings with stakeholders. Collating this information would require staff in my office, including public servants employed by the Ministry of Health and Health New Zealand, to divert from their regular duties. I do not consider this to be in the public interest.
