Thank you for your Official Information Act request. This is an automatic reply to let you know we received it.

In accordance with the Act, we'll let you know our decision within no more than 20 working days. If you'd like to calculate the timeframe, you can use the Ombudsman's online calculator here: http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/

Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic response, the Ministry is experiencing significantly higher volumes of queries and requests for information. This means we may take some time in responding to your request. The Ministry regularly updates information about the COVID-19 situation and publishes OIA responses considered to be of public interest: https://www.health.govt.nz/about-ministry/information-releases/responses-official-information-act-requests

Please also refer to the Unite Against Covid-19 website for copies of papers, minutes, and key advice for the decisions the Government has made relating to COVID-19.

Sometimes we may need to clarify aspects of a request. You can expect to hear from us soon if that is the case here.

Ngā mihi,
