Chair of Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency welcomes investigation
Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency Chair Merepeka Raukawa-Tait is welcoming a meticulous investigation into the numerous allegations regarding the inappropriate use of census and health data.
“We welcome this scrutiny. We are concerned about allegations, accusations, speculation and innuendo now causing us to expense resource in regard to this inquiry.
We must never resile from our obligations and duties of continuing to uplift our communities. And I can confirm that the Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency exceeded its contract with the Department of Statistics for the 2023 Census.
In regard to all other matters, we will no longer be making any commentary whilst we work with the Heron KC inquiry”.
