------------------- Original Message -------------------
From: P Shaw <[FOI #19898 email]>;
Received: Wed Jul 13 2022 14:23:53 GMT+1200 (New Zealand Standard Time)
To: OIA Requests <[email address]>; OIA <[email address]>;
Subject: Official Information request - Objectives of Behavioural Science

Dear Ministry of Health,

I would like to request a list of all of the objectives of all of the
tasks given to the Ministry’s Evaluation and Behavioural Science team
since its formation in mid-2021.

I realize you are planning to release some documentation, including
results, toward the end of 2022, however I ask that you treat my request
with urgency. I am aware that under s(12)(3) of the Act I am required to
give justification for the added urgency of this request. To justify that
urgency please consider the following: I am currently writing a report on
this topic with a looming deadline and I anticipate that the results from
this request will direct the course of my investigations toward further
requests to other agencies, the accumulation of which would add
significant time delays to the completion of my report.

I trust that the information I have requested is very straight forward,
simple to collect, and not in such a great quantity as to require
rejection under any other provisions of the Act.

I look forward to your response.

Yours faithfully,

P Shaw
