Kia ora AP,

 

This email is to notify you that the Ministry is extending the 20 working
days available to it to respond to your Official Information Act request
pursuant to section 15A(1)(b) of the Act. 

 

We require an additional 17 working days as “consultations necessary to
make a decision on the request are such that a proper response to the
request cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit”.

 

You may now expect a full response to your request by 9 May 2024. However,
we will endeavour to respond to your request before this date.

 

Please note you have the right under section 28(3) of the Act to approach
the Ombudsman about this extension.
