51707 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health

51707 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: Further to WPQ 44698(2024), have any additional non-disclosure agreements been signed since 5 August 2024?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: Health New Zealand is an organisation with over 80,000 employees. I am advised that providing the Member with this information would require Health New Zealand to undertake a substantial manual collation exercise and divert staff from their core duties. In accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 210-6, I consider that the time, and hence the expense, of answering the Member’s question is not in the public interest. This would require an estimated 60 working hours.
