Dear Ministry of Health,

Thank you for your response of 10 June. I would like to make a follow up
request for further information about DART. I would like to request:

1)      A copy of the position description for the manager of DART

2)      Copies of any other position descriptions for roles within DART

3)      The number of FTEs employed in DART

4)      Copies of any Memoranda of Understanding or other formal
agreements that set out the relationship between DART and any other agency

5)      Copies of any internal memos on the topic of the establishment of
DART. For the avoidance of doubt, by “internal memo” I am referring to
this type of document published on the Ministry website:

[4]https://www.health.govt.nz/system/files/...

6)      A list of all other such memos on the topic of DART, including the
title of the memo and date

Yours sincerely,

Harold

Kia ora Harold,

Please accept our apologies for this late extension notification.

Thank you for your request for official information, received on 20 June
2022 requesting:

“in response to H202206192: Thank you for your response of 10 June. I
would like to make a follow up request for further information about DART.
I would like to request:

1) A copy of the position description for the manager of DART

The Ministry of Health has decided to extend the period of time available
to respond to your request under section 15A of the Official Information
Act 1982 (the Act) as consultations are 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 can now expect a response to your request on, or before, 9 August
2022.

You have the right, under section 28 of the Act, to ask the Ombudsman to
review my decision to extend the time available to respond to your
request.
