Hi Lynn

 

I refer to your LGOIMA request dated 2 May 2021 for information about Drug
and alcohol pathology/testing at WREDA (WellingtonNZ) Ltd.

 

On your first point (1) Does the organisation carry out drugs and alcohol
testing (among employees and other persons)? The answer is no, WREDA
(WellingtonNZ) does not conduct this activity.

 

We believe the answer to (1) means the remainder of the question are made
redundant. Please let me know via [1][email address] if you
have an alternative view.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation by the Ombudsman of this
decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[2]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602

 

Yours sincerely, Dave Burgess
