Incensed and inspired by someone else’s ongoing dealings with the Ombudsman we thought we could share our experiences. An NZDSOS member wrote to Health New Zealand (HNZ) to ask for the data from the Post Vaccine Symptom Check (PVSC) survey. Only a portion of the data was provided so a further request was made to…
The New Zealand Ombudsman has dismissed NZDSOS’s complaint of 9 July 2021 despite claiming eight months ago that “you can be assured that your complaint remains a priority and is being actively monitored.” This dismissal comes 21 months after the Ombudsman’s office claimed to have delegated it for early resolution. Eight months ago we were advised that…
We officially complained to the New Zealand Ombudsman on the 9th of July 2021, having previously provided their office with two open letters on injecting children and on informed consent. In our official complaint we advised of the poor communication from the Medical Council of New Zealand, despite NZDSOS requesting clarification on its guidance statement…
How much does it take, we ask the Ombudsman? Following news reports that Peter Boshier wrote to the Ardern government re transparency and training of MPs in how to avoid OIAs, we raised our concerns that our complaint (that has been in the system for over a year) had not been obviously progressed.

We replied to the New Zealand Ombudsman’s office providing information that they had requested regarding the ignoring of our concerns with about the Pfizer Comirnaty covid vaccines by the Ministry of Health and Medsafe. We highlight that Dr Bloomfield failed to answer our questions and concerns and refers to his scientific advisors instead, without providing…
After requesting more information from us, we replied to the New Zealand Ombudsman attaching our complaint to Dr Bloomfield, Director General of the Ministry of Health and advised that we had not as yet received a reply. The Ombudsman suggested that due to the New Zealand being in Alert Level 4, a response from Dr…
In response to our complaint about the non-engagement of the health authorities, the Ombudsman replied, seeking clarification and correspondence that NZDSOS had had with Dr Bloomfield. We were advised that the Ombudsman could not intervene with the Medical Council, Dental Council or Ministers of the Crown but that the Ministry of Health and Medsafe were…
