54685 (2025). Vanushi Walters to the Minister of Health: Has he received any advice on the consistency of the decision to prevent the prescription of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues for young people experiencing gender dysphoria, but to continue to allow their prescription for early-onset puberty, with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990; if so, what was the conclusion of that advice?

Hon Simeon Brown: Titles of advice that I have received that support delivering access to timely, quality healthcare for all New Zealanders have been, or will be, proactively released on the Ministry of Health, Health New Zealand and Pharmac websites: https://www.health.govt.nz/information-releases/lists-of-advice-provided-to-ministers https://www.tewhatuora.govt.nz/publications https://pharmac.govt.nz/news-and-resources/official-information-act/list-of-ministerial-briefings.
