Dear MIQ Ministerial Servicing,

Thank you for this reply, and thank you for the information regarding the list of facilities available on the miq.govt.nz website. I would, however, like to clarify that my original request was for a breakdown of the number of people who have stayed at each individual facility since March 25, not the total number for all facilities, which is what the covid19.govt.nz link provides and this is not what I have requested, and even so, the link provided only has the total number from 2nd July Onwards.

Can you please provide the information regarding the number of people who have stayed in each individual facility since March 25th, as per my original request, as it is not publically available on the links you have provided, or inform me of where it is publically available.

Yours sincerely,

Blaize McCabe

Has now been over a week since I replied to MBIE asking them to answer the request as written, I have received no response whatsoever, so complaint has been laid with the Ombudsman (Wednesday 26th August 2020).
