I am emailing about the possibility of refining part of your request
received on 22 and 23 June for the following information made under the
Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):
- Business case and/or needs analysis
- Algorithm
- Functional and technical specifications
- Cost of development and deployment
- Analysis of compliance with the Bill of Rights Act

Just to make sure the request is completely clear it is meant to also
cover all internal communications such as emails, memos, txt messages,
board papers, etc related to the development of the equity
adjuster-waitlist tool

As it is currently worded, the part of your request “Just to make sure the
request is completely clear it is meant to also cover all internal
communications such as emails, memos, txt messages, board papers, etc
related to the development of the equity adjuster-waitlist tool” would
require a significant amount of collation and consultation. We would also
need to divert personnel from their other core duties to provide the
information to you. As this information dates back to 2021, this would be
a significant undertaking and by way of refining Te Whatu Ora invites you
consider rescoping this part of your request to:
 

* Official documents including briefings and advice sent to the Minister
since the establishment of Te Whatu Ora on 1 July 2022.  

You are under no obligation to amend your request, but requests that
require substantial collation may be refused under section 18(f) of the
Act.  We want to work with you to avoid this and ensure we are able to
provide a response that best meets your needs.

Please let us know before 22 July 2023 whether you are prepared to amend
or clarify your request and, if so, how.

Please note, if you do amend or clarify your request, this will be
considered as a new request for the purpose of calculating the maximum
statutory timeframe for response.
 
Ngâ mihi

I am writing further in regards to our correspondence regarding your
request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act).

This email is to let you know that Te Whatu Ora needs more time to make a
decision on your request.

The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no
later than 20 working days after the day we received your request.
Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are
therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our
decision, to 26 September 2023.

This extension is required because the consultations necessary to make a
decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably
be made within the original time limit.

If you have any questions, please contact us at [1][Health New Zealand request email].

If you are not happy with this extension, you have the right to make a
complaint to the Ombudsman. Information about how to do this is available
at [2]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by phoning 0800 802 602.
