I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your Official Information Act request dated the 3rd of February 2021. You have requested the following information:

“I noted on your BIM
https://www.beehive.govt.nz/sites/defaul...
The previous Minister for Youth requested a review of the Board’s governance arrangements to consider whether these are the most appropriate and effective for delivering results.

We would welcome the opportunity to discuss the Board’s governance review with you to ensure it aligns with your portfolio priorities and objectives for the Board.

May I request the copy of the review completed by previous Minister and have the department discuss the review with you yet? Are there any minutes or decision made with regards to this review discussion?"
