Answer

I am advised that for the 2020/21 financial year, 100% of the Ministry of Health’s buildings were powered by electricity sourced from the National Grid. Of those buildings, 6% were heated by compressed natural gas and 94% heated by electricity. I am further advised that the period requested pre-dates the establishment of Health New Zealand. Therefore, this information is not available.
