Answer

I am advised that correspondence my office receives is not categorised by topic. Accordingly, the information requested is not available in an easily reportable format. It would not be a good use of taxpayer-funded staff’s time - including those employed by the Ministry of Health and Health New Zealand who work in my office - to collate and organise by topic a list of all correspondence they have received. It would not be in the public interest to do so.
