Sent: Monday, 11 October 2021 6:01 pm
To: Information [DPMC] <[email address]>
Subject: Re: Your OIA Request - A Response

 

Dear Information [DPMC],

 

Your response does not answer my request, and makes a false assertion
about what information I am after. I am after information from the
"Modeling governance group". On 6th August I clarified that the "Modeling
governance group" I was referring to was that referenced in the Strategic
Covid-19 Public Health Advisory Group terms of reference:

 

[6 August] "I am referring to the Modelling Governance Group referred to
in Section 7 (a) of the Strategic Covid-19 Public Health Advisory Group
terms of reference:

 

[3]https://covid19.govt.nz/assets/resources....

 

Specifically and for complete clarity, the SCPHAG terms of reference
stated the group shall assure the modeling approach "...undertaken by the
modelling Governance Group that has been established by the Ministry of
Health."

 

Please answer this query as soon as possible. I note that it took over 3
weeks for the Ministry of Health to transfer my request to the DPMC, the
maximum allowed 20 days for DPMC to inform me they were requesting a
further delay, and then a further maximum of 20 days to now provide me
with the completely incorrect information.

 

As you can appreciate, I find this situation completely unacceptable.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Mr T. Baker
