Minister of Health Andrew Little has confirmed the release of Māori vaccination data to the Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency has been delayed, despite an agreement involving the Ministry of Health to provide it. It has asked the Ministry to provide contact details of all unvaccinated Māori in the North Island. Photo: RNZBut Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency chief executive John Tamihere said that was not true. Tamihere said late on Wednesday night he received the data for unvaccinated Māori in Waikato, but he has yet to receive the data for the rest of the North Island. It follows news last week that the agency was planning to take further legal action against the Ministry over its refusal to release data on unvaccinated Māori.
