Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 of 6
July 2020 seeking the following information:

 

Please provide all information, documents, correspondence, or any other
information held in any form regarding the qualification 'Bachelor of
Naturopathic and Herbal Medicine'. Please interpret this request to
encompass all versions including drafts, and any documents held in any
kind of backup system.

           

You can expect to receive a response to your request on, or before, 3
August 2020. You will be contacted again if there is a likelihood that
this timeframe cannot be met.

 

As you may know requests for official information become official
information once received.  As part of the processing of requests for
official information, NZQA may need to consult with relevant third
parties.  During the consultation, a third party may ask for the identity
of the individual/organisation requesting the information.

 

If you are an individual making a request, please advise us whether or not
you would have an objection to disclosing your identity if a third party
asks for your identity, and the reasons for your objection.   

 

If you are an individual making a request on behalf of an organisation
please advise us both whether you personally have an objection to
disclosing your identity, and the reasons for your objection, as well as
any objection to identifying the organisation, together with reasons.

 

NZQA will consider your reasons and whether they fit with any withholding
grounds under the Privacy Act 1993 or the Official Information Act 1982.

 

For any enquiries about your request, please contact
[email address].

 

If you are dissatisfied with our response, you have the right, under
section 28(3) of the Official Information Act 1982, to lodge a complaint
with the Office of the Ombudsman at [1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz. You
can also telephone 0800 802 502 or write to the Ombudsman at PO Box 10152,
Wellington, 6143.

From: Stefan

Dear NZQA Ministerials team,

As an amendment to my request would reset the timeframe anyway, I have now made a second request in line with your suggestion which I hope will not require 'substantial collation and research'.

However I would still like to pursue this request by asking exactly what substantial collation is required. How much information would need to be collated, what level of resourcing would be required, and how did you determine this? In what way would the collation of the information I requested impact on NZQA's day-to-day operations, and how would this substantially differ from the impact of other OIA requests?

Yours sincerely,

Stefan
