When, if ever, has the Minister met with the NZ College of Midwives to discuss the risk of nitrates in South Island drinking water supplies to expectant mothers, foetuses, and babies?

Answer
I have not met with the NZ College of Midwives on this issue. I expect drinking water across the South Island to be below the safe drinking level of 11.3 mg/L.
