Subject: Official Information request - Briefings to incoming deputy
secretarys

 

Dear Ministry of Education,

 

I understand that at the start of October the Ministry implemented a new
structure for its senior levels of management known as deputy secretaries
and associated roles for people in the offices of these very senior roles.

 

I would like to request under the Official Information Act several sets of
information please as follows:

 

The number of positions affected by the restructure I.e. How many
positions were disestablished and how many were created. I am not
interested in the number of positions that simply moved or had changes in
reporting lines unless the significance/size of the roles significantly
changed.

 

I would also like you to tell me the net cost impact of the changes,
ideally by setting out the total costs of roles disestablished and the
total cost of new roles created, while I would prefer this to be itemised
individually for each role, if it makes it easier then I am happy to
receive the summary information ( for eg: 4 roles dissestablished with
salary savings totalling $400,000 per annum and overhead cost savings
totalling $100,000 pa. And 2 new roles created with new salary costs of
$300,000 and overhead costs of $60,000). I do not want or need specific
salary levels for any individual person or position, but rather the
overall costs and savings to the Ministry. So please use salary bands or
similar to protect privacy etc but I do want to have a figure with some
integrity I.e Not an estimate that has a range of hundreds of thousands of
dollars. I appreciate that some new roles may not have been filled as yet,
if so please use a sensible figure for salary and other cos  ts presumably
100% of the relevant job band.

 

I would also like to receive a copy of any and all individual "Briefings
for the Incoming Deputy Secretary" or any documents with a similar name or
purpose that may have been prepared for each Deputy secretary of business
groups.

 

Please also advise the direct external costs of preparing any such
briefing materials for deputy secretaries i.e. any costs that are not
covered by existing ministry expenditure eg: I am not interested in
costing the hours of any existing ministry employees who were assigned to
prepare such documentation, but I am interested in knowing of any costs
that were specifically incurred just to do this task eg if a new person/s
was hired for this purpose, or if an external party eg
contractors/consultants or advisers to the Ministry whether individuals or
firms, or graphic design or printing or related publication costs were
contracted to do this work.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Mark Paulson
