Dear Mr Thompson

Thank you for your request received under the Official Information Act. We consider that part one of your request as currently worded is substantial in nature and is likely to be partially refused under 18(f) of the Act, as the information requested cannot be made available without substantial collation or research. We are proposing that this part of your request is refined to only include formal, decision making documents. Please email Ministerial Services if you do not agree with this refinement.
Regards

Dear DPMC,

I am a little unsure why you state that my item #1 would take a lot of research and suggest that your response should only include “formal, decision making documents”. I requested the Terms of Reference or other documents that “set out the purpose, objectives, deliverables and timeframes for the programme known as the "Emergency Management System Reform".

In accordance with best practice for programme management (as in the Emergency Management System Reform programme) there should be a single high level document (eg a Terms of Reference or similar) that sets out the required information.

I am therefore expecting a single document describing the EMSR programme that should take little effort to identify and provide.

I trust that this assists.
