Tēnā koe Helen

 

Thank you for your email of 15 May 2024, asking for the following
information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):

 

What is the current budget per person for hospital meals?

 

 This email is to let you know that Health NZ 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 12 July 2024.

 

This extension is required because the volume of information and
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][email address].

 

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.

 

Nāku iti noa, nā
