The Canterbury DHB Annual Report 2019/2020, at page 48, disclosed Ministry of Health population-based funding for the year ended 30 June 2020 of $1,565,331,000 (2019: $1,463,233,000).

1. 1. With respect to the 2020 funding, which I presume is paid in advance to the CDHB, with accounting adjustments to match the revenue to the financial year, can you please advise the amounts received and when they were received in relation to the FY2020 year, and the accounting adjustments which resulted in the reported figure of $1,565,331,000.
   2. In relation to the FY2020 funding, and each tranche which I presume is paid on a regular basis to the CDHB, what information does the MOH provide to the CDHB regarding how those funds were calculated in accordance with the population-based funding formula?
   3. Alternatively, it may be the CDHB does not receive any advice about the PBFF at all and instead just receives tranches of funds as the year progresses. Am I right in that assumption?
   4. May I also ask if you have been advised of any reviews of the PBFF subsequent to the 2015 Technical Report?

• A copy of all communications between you or your staff and any member of the media regarding the incident up to and including today’s date (25 August 2021).
