Tēnā koe Anthony,

 

Thank you for your email of 23 June 2021 to Hon Sepuloni requesting
information about Mātai Medical Research Institute.

 

After looking into your request we understand that the Mātai Medical
Research Institute was set up in 2019, while Ian Lees-Galloway was the
Minister for ACC, as this relates to a previous Minister, it is
appropriate that ACC respond to this request.

 

On behalf of Hon Sepuloni, we have transferred the entirety of your
request to ACC as the information you have requested is not held by the
Minister but is believed to be either held by ACC, or more closely
connected with its functions.

 

This transfer is done in accordance with section 14 of the Official
Information Act.

 

Kind regards,

Shahd

 

 

Shahd El-Matary | Private Secretary Executive Support

Office of Hon Carmel Sepuloni MP, Minister for Social Development &
Employment, Minister for Disability Issues, Minister for ACC and Minister
for Arts, Culture and Heritage

Authorised by Hon Carmel Sepuloni MP, Parliament Buildings, Wellington

Kia ora Anthony 

Thank you for your email of 23 June 2021 to Hon Sepuloni requesting
information about Mâtai Medical Research Institute.  You asked for:

1/ Please supply information that would indicate the ACC Minister was
aware of an initiative to set up Mâtai Medical Research Institute 
2/ Please supply the communications to any such communications between
ministers regarding the Mâtai Medical Research Institute that were
targeted at the ACC Minister having a potential interest (or non-interest)
3/ Please supply the communications to any such communications between any
Officials (Non-Ministers) regarding the Mâtai Medical Research Institute
that were targeted at the ACC Minister having a potential interest (or
non-interest)

Your request was transferred to ACC to respond to as the information you
are requesting predates Minister Sepuloni.

We have searched our records and can find no information in scope of any
of your questions.  For this reason we are refusing your request under
section 18(e) of the Act, as the information does not exist.

If you are not happy with our decision you have the right to seek an
investigation by the Ombudsman, via email
at [1][email address] or post  to: The Ombudsman, PO Box
10152, Wellington 6143.

Ngâ mihi
