There are a number of documents in scope of your request and these require
approval by an Associate Deputy Chief Executive before they can be
released to you. The Associate Deputy Chief Executive responsible in this
instance has been seconded to manage the Ministry’s response to COVID-19.
Accordingly, there will be additional delays in providing the information
to you at this time.
Apologies for the further delay. We appreciate your patience.
