33230 (2026). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What are the titles of any advice from the New Zealand Infrastructure Commission he or his office received regarding the rapid build wards programme, if any, and on what date(s)?
Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that correspondence my office receives is not categorised by topic. Accordingly, the information requested is not available in an easily reportable format. It would not be a good use of taxpayer-funded staff’s time - including those employed by the Ministry of Health and Health New Zealand who work in my office - to collate and organise by topic a list of all correspondence they have received. It would not be in the public interest to do so.
