Official information request regarding Halls of Residence mandatory
vaccination risk assessment
I refer to your request for information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act)
dated 18 October 2021 regarding Halls of Residence mandatory vaccination risk
assessment.
The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20
working days after the day we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to
meet that time limit and we are therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the
timeframe to make our decision to 3 December 2021.
This extension is required because consultations necessary to make a decision on the
request are such that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably be made within
the original time limit.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.
Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
If you wish to discuss this decision with us, please feel free to contact me at
[VUW request email].
