Response to request for official information

Thank you for your request, under the Official Information Act 1982, for
all the analysis and advice held by the Ministry of Health about family
carers, following the Human Rights Tribunal decision in 2010.

The Ministry has reviewed your request and has come to the view that it
would require substantial collation.   We considered, under section 18A of
the Act, fixing a charge or extending the time limit, but we do not
believe this would enable us to respond to your request in its current
form.  

Could you please refine your request for official information to specific
types of documents, such as health reports and memos sent to the Minister
of Health.  Otherwise, your request as it stands will be refused under
section 18(f) [substantial collation] of the Act.  

As you may be aware, the Cabinet papers and minutes relating to the Family
Carers case are publicly available on the Ministry's website  
([1]www.health.govt.nz/our-work/disability-services/disability-projects-and-programmes/funded-family-care-notice-and-operational-policy/funded-family-carers-background-document).
 We hope you find these documents helpful, and we look forward to
receiving your refined request for official information.

Yours sincerely
