Tçnâ koe David,

Thank you for your email of 14 June 2024, asking for the following
information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):

"Please provide all communications (emails, letters, texts etc) between
Health NZ and the Minister of Health (or their office staff) regarding the
pause on recruitment (per an email sent to Health NZ staff on 13 June
2024). 
Further, can you provide any internal communications sent to or from
Executive leadership at Health NZ on this recruitment pause (please make
this part of the request communications for June only to limit the size of
the request if needed). 
Can you please also provide any criteria to define ‘patient-facing roles’
as part of the recruitment pause."

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 August 2024.

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][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 www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by phoning 0800 802 602.

Ngâ mihi,

Jeremy (He/Him)
Office of the Chief Executive
Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora
