Hon Simeon Brown: As part of my focus on putting patients first and ensuring all New Zealanders have access to timely, quality healthcare, I have sent a range of communications to the departments, agencies, Crown entities and other bodies I am responsible for as the Minister of Health. Correspondence I have sent is not categorised by topic. Accordingly, it is not in the public interest to disclose this specific information, as requested by the Member, due to the substantial collation exercise that would be necessary.
