What is the Official Information Act (OIA)?

People can request official information held by government services and can expect it to be made available unless there is a good reason to withhold it. 


We are committed to openness and transparency in the provision of public health services. 


The Official Information Act (OIA) gives New Zealanders the right to access information.
