Answer
I refer the Member to the attached table for the Ministry of Health's information. I am advised that Health New Zealand does not hold this information in a readily reportable format. To provide it would require extensive manual collation across a large dataset, therefore, providing the Member with this information would require Health New Zealand to undertake a substantial manual collation exercise and divert staff from their core duties. In accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 210-6, I consider that the time, and hence the expense, of answering the Member’s question is not in the public interest.
