Dear Oranga Tamariki—Ministry for Children,
I am writing to request information under the Official Information Act 1982. Specifically, I am seeking a comprehensive list of external care services contracted or outsourced by Oranga Tamariki for children in their care. This includes services provided under fee-for-service arrangements, contracts, or any other form of contractual arrangement between Oranga Tamariki and external providers.
Scope of Information: I am interested in obtaining information on services that offer, but are not limited to:
• Disability care
• Complex high-needs care
• Low-needs care
• Care homes.
• Residential homes
• Any other long-term or short-term care and staying arrangements.
Details Requested:
1. The names of all external care providers contracted by Oranga Tamariki including their regional locations.
2. The types of care services provided by each contracted provider, specifying whether they offer disability care, complex high-needs care, low-needs care, care homes, residential homes, or other types of care.
3. The number of children associated with each care provider.
4. The duration and nature of the contractual arrangements between Oranga Tamariki and each care provider, including any relevant terms and conditions.
5. If these care providers are subject to the newly introduced national rate card implemented by Oranga Tamariki for services rendered with an effective date of 22 January 2024.
If parts of this request contain information that is not legally obtainable, I request that Oranga Tamariki provide the portions of the request that are permissible under the law.
Yours faithfully
