56651 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Health

56651 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Health: How many plants, broken down by species or type, have been hired by each entity for which the Minister is responsible since 27 November 2023, and what were the suppliers and locations for each installation, broken down by month?

Hon Simeon Brown: I refer the Member to the attached tables for the Ministry of Health's information, noting the caveats. I am further advised by Health New Zealand that providing the requested information would require them to undertake a substantial manual collation exercise and divert staff from their core duties. In accordance with Speaker’s Rulings, I consider that the time, and hence the expense, of answering the Member’s question is not in the public interest.
