Subject: Official Information request - Air Desk tasking
 
Kia Ora.

I am writing to request information on the Air Desk function provided for
national co-ordination and tasking of helicopters. I am unclear from
publicly available documents if the Air Desk functions under St. John
Ambulance, NASO, or another group so would appreciate clarity on
structures and reporting.

Please provide the following information:

- Current and historical staff numbers of the Air Desk for the last 3
years (number of staff employed and their function)
- Data relating to historical tasking of helicopters: number of requests
for helicopters and the number which were subsequently sent, broken down
by quarter, over the last 3 years to allow assessment of the Air Desk
'refusal' rate
- The documented criteria for deciding if a helicopter is sent or not
- Reporting structure for the Air Desk within the Ministry of Health/NASO:
who do they report to? What governance structures are in place to ensure
their function?
- Details set by the Ministry for the Air Desk Key Performance Indicators
(KPIs)
- Details of the process by which retrospective review of decisions made
can occur and who is involved in that process

Yours faithfully,

Richard James
