Of those incidences in response 1, how many claimants were formally charged with:
(a) harassment of an ACC employee in the ACC employee’s workplace;

Dear Ministerial Services,
I would like to amend my request. In your response you mentioned you only did a database search for "ACC". I request you do a database search for "Accident Compensation Corporation".
Please also do a search for the following locations of the offence, which are all ACC locations listed on the ACC website (below). Please only include incidents which occurred during normal business operating hours (8 am - 5 pm), as any offence committed outside those hours are unlikely to be related to any offence of harassment or violence which is specifically targeted towards an ACC employee.
