Dear Statistics New Zealand,

I am interested in the cost of using contractors during 2013.
I intend to send this request to a number of government departments.

I am sure you have an internal definition of what a contractor is, for my request I am talking about people who work for your ministry and not permanent staff.

Under the OIA I request the total cost of using contractors from Jan 2013 to Dec 2013.

Yours faithfully,

Andrew Crow
