Video / Hayden WoodwardBy RNZDirector general of health Dr Ashley Bloomfield has apologised to Parliament's health select committee for providing them incorrect information. In the letter to Craig correcting his statement, Bloomfield provided the content of the texts and the time they were sent. Bloomfield responded, saying health officials were "all over it" and said he thought there would be a resolution. In the letter to the select committee, Bloomfield said he did not recall the specific exchange when he was responding to questions. Bloomfield said it was not until the day after his appearance before the select committee that he realised the text exchange was relevant to the questions asked.
