[FYI request #12729 email] Dear Misha
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 29 April 2020,
requesting various local operating manual procedures supporting the
Department of Corrections’ Health Services Health Care Pathway Policy.
Corrections needs to extend the timeframe of our response to your request by
20 working days, pursuant to section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA, as consultations
necessary to make a decision on the request are such that a proper response to
the request cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit. Therefore,
you can expect to receive a response to your request by 25 June 2020. If you
no longer require this information please let us know as soon as possible.
Please be advised that should you have any concerns regarding this extension
you have the right to ask an Ombudsman to investigate our decision to extend
the timeframe. Contact details are: Office of the Ombudsman, PO Box 10152,
Wellington 6143.
Yours sincerely
Vanessa Koening
Manager Ministerial Services
