53955 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What representations, if any, has he received from pharmacy organisations regarding new or expanded health services that could be delivered in pharmacies?
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 by topic a list of all correspondence they have received. It would not be in the public interest to do so.
