Subject: Official Information request - Extract of "Sector Operations"
Summary Spend Information

Dear Ministry of Health,
I would like an extract of the annual amounts spent by "Sector
Operations"  from the 2020/2021, 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 financial years.

I would like the following details provided:
- Payee name / Recipient
- Department  or  Name of the program of work
- Program manager
- Total Amount Spent

I believe this information would be readily available via an extract from
your Accounts Payable system or your Program Portfolio Management software
(eg Sentient or Saleforce etc)

I see other OIAs have already received similar data from a number of
Government organisations, which implies this information can be treated as
open data.

Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome

Thank you for your request for official information, received on 27 June
2024 for: 
“I would like an extract of the annual amounts spent by "Sector
Operations"  from the 2020/2021, 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 financial years.
I would like the following details provided:
- Payee name / Recipient
- Department  or  Name of the program of work
- Program manager
- Total Amount Spent” 
We are contacting you in accordance with section 18B of the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act) as your request, as it is currently worded,
requires a search through a very large volume of information. The Ministry
does not have a single data system that would make the information easily
retrievable and enable an extract of the data as suggested in your
original request.
 
Your request may be refused under section 18(f) of the Act as the
information requested cannot be made available without substantial
collation or research. 
Your request would require a very large volume of information, which
requires individual assessment of each payees information held across
multiple databases. This would place an unreasonable degree of strain on
the team responsible and would interfere with the day-to-day workings of
the Ministry. 
 
If you are able to refine the scope of your request we may be able to
provide some information you are interested in. In the first instance, we
suggest you refer to the Ministry’s Annual Reports, which outline detailed
agency expenditure:
[1]https://www.health.govt.nz/about-ministr....
 
Please respond by 16 July 2024 so that we can consider your refinement in
our response to your request. 
 
Please note, under section 15 of the Official Information Act 1982, any
clarification or amendments made to a request within seven days after the
date it is received, that request may be treated as a new request and the
time limit for the response restarts. 
 
We look forward to receiving your response. 

Ngâ mihi
