    Kia ora,
On behalf of Hon Dr Megan Woods, thank you for your email.  
While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important, and all
 messages are carefully read and considered, it is not always possible to
 personally reply to all emails.  As such, the following guidelines apply:
o Invitations and meeting requests will be processed as soon as possible
 and a staff member will be in contact with you in due course.
 o Requests for official information will be managed in accordance with
 the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may include
 transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.
 o If your email falls outside of the Minister’s portfolio
 responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
 Members of Parliament, your correspondence will be noted and/or
 transferred to another office.
If you are a resident in the Wigram electorate, please
 email [1][email address] and the electorate office team
 will get back to when they are able.
 Thank you for the taking the time to write. 
 Ngâ mihi,
 Office of Hon Dr Megan Woods
