Tēnā koe John Luke,

 

On  27 January 2023, you emailed the Ministry of Social Development (the
Ministry) requesting, under the Official Information Act 1982, the
following information:

o May I ask how is your process of expressions of interests works and
how many people currently registered within your nomination service
registry.

 

Also, how many people you have nominated from the registry to a position
from the past two year, can you provide the name of all the positions you
have nominate someone from the registry to.

 

We have transferred your request to Te Manatu Whakahiato Ora (Whaikaha).
The information to which your request relates, the process of expressions
of interest and how may people currently registered within the nomination
service registry and how many people have been nominated from the registry
to a position from the past two years and the name of all these positions,
is believe to be more closely connected with the function of Whaikaha.

 

In these circumstances, we are required by section 14 of the OIA to
transfer your request.

 

Please note that according to sections 14 and 15(1) of the Official
Information Act, the 20-working day response period is reset by the
transfer and starts again on the day Whaikaha receives the transfer
notification. The Ministry notified Whaikaha of the transfer today.

 

You will hear further from Whaikaha concerning your request.

 

Ngā mihi,

Kia ora John Luke

Thank you for your email.

Reviewing the file, this request was transferred to Whaikaha from the Ministry of Social Development. The due date for Whaikaha's response was 2 March 2023.

We've just checked, and you sent at similar times, two requests to MSD (this one was transferred to Whaikaha) one about an update of the Social Workers Registration Board, and this request. It was the former that you withdrew and so was closed. However, it appears we have invertedly mixed up two requests and closed this request.

We are late and apologise for this. A response will be sent to you on this request as soon as is possible.

(Note, for an interim period MSD is providing OIA services to assist Whaikaha)
