54350 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Associate Minister of Health: Does she stand by her statement that “…the information in the document does refer to a range of statements and policies and positions that were both historical and things that the New Zealand First Party campaigned on”, if so, did the information include key lines or messages?

Hon Casey Costello: The information provided to Health officials included reference to elements of the Coalition Agreement and the 100 day plan. It also included historical policy positions and elements that New Zealand First campaigned on. I would not characterise the information as “key lines or messages” or “talking points”.
