At this time, the Ministry of Health (the Ministry), along with many other

must continue to respond at pace to this global pandemic. The Ministry has
decided to extend the period of time available to respond to your request
under section 15A of the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) as
further collation and research, and consultation is required.

You can now expect a response to your request on, or before, 30 April

You have the right, under section 28 of the Act, to ask the Ombudsman to
review my decision to extend the time available to respond to your
