Time Extension of your Official Information Act request, reference: GOV-005614
Thank you for your request of 3 July 2020, asking for the following information under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
Please provide copies of all Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU’s) signed in the last five years
related to the sharing of data to organisations outside your organisation.
ACC needs extra time
The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the
day we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are
therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision, of 20 working days, to 28
August 2020.
This extension is necessary because the consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are
such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
How you can reach us
Please contact me o
n [email address] if you would like to talk about this letter. I will be
happy to answer any questions or, if you have any concerns, work with you to resolve these.
If you are not happy with this response, you have the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman.
Information about how to do this is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by phoning 0800 802
602.
