47287 (2025). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister of Health: How much correspondence, if any, has the Minister or their office received supporting the Governments announcement about Palestinian statehood at the United Nations General Assembly by numbers per day?
Hon Simeon Brown: Since becoming Minister of Health, I have received a range of communications from a variety of sources that support our Government's focus on putting patients first and delivering access to timely, quality healthcare for all New Zealanders. Correspondence I have received 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 received. It would not be in the public interest to do so.
