Tēnā koe Kate Day

Thank you for your email received 6 December 2021, under the Official Information Act 1982. Your request has been forwarded to the appropriate officials at National Office to respond. 

The Ministry is focussing its resources on supporting New Zealanders through COVID-19 by administering welfare support during this unprecedented time.  Resources within our business units, where information for OIA requests is drawn from, is limited or unavailable.  Staff have been redeployed to assist the frontline with the processing of welfare payments. As such, there may be a delay in you receiving a response from the Ministry.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time. 

Ngā manaakitanga,
