55463 (2025). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister of Health

55463 (2025). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister of Health: Has the Minister or any official they are responsible for been contacted by US officials about collecting data on crimes and human rights abuses committed by migrants as part of its global drive to combat mass migration and if so with who and by what date?

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.
