Answer

Titles of advice that I have requested and received that support delivering access to timely, quality healthcare for all New Zealanders have been, or will be, proactively released on the Ministry of Health, Health New Zealand and Pharmac websites: https://www.health.govt.nz/information-releases/lists-of-advice-provided-to-ministers https://www.tewhatuora.govt.nz/publications https://pharmac.govt.nz/news-and-resources/official-information-act/list-of-ministerial-briefings.
