Thank you for your email of 13 March 2023 to the Ministry of Education
requesting the following information:

 

communications between anyone at the Ministry of Education and Otago
Public Health affiliated members - that i've listed below -  between April
2020 and December 2022:

o Prof Michael Baker
o Prof Nick Wilson
o Dr Ling Chan
o Dr Nitasha Rimar
o Dr Lucy Telfar Barnard
o Lesley Gray
o Dr Sophie Febery
o Dr Amanda Klasvig
o Dr Jennifer Summers

 

To support your search the communications can be limited to:

o emails between any of these listed people and Ministry of Education
email accounts
o any mention of meetings between anyone at the Ministry of Education
that included any of the above listed people.

Here i'm primarily interested in the title of the meeting and the date and
who attended out of the above list with Ministry of Education people.

 

Your request has been considered under the Official Information Act 1982
(the Act).

 

Your request, as currently worded, is very broad in nature and scope and
lacks due particularity. As it stands, your request would include a
keyword search through the email accounts of all current and former
Ministry staff members, to determine if they had ever emailed the listed
individuals.

 

This would cover a large quantity of information which would require a
substantial amount of time to collate. As such, it is likely that your
request, as it currently stands, would be refused under section 18(f) of
the Act as the information requested cannot be made available without
substantial collation or research.

 

In the hope that we may be able to avoid refusing your request, we would
be grateful if you could provide further detail around the nature of the
information you are looking for, so that we might be able to identify
Ministry staff who are most likely to hold correspondence with Otago
Public Health staff.

 

I look forward to hearing from you. Once we have your clarification, we
will commence work on your request.

 

Naku noa, nā
