Tom

Dear OIA_Requests (OT),
Please could you provide me with a complete list of Oranga Tamariki's partnered care providers? That way I can narrow the scope to specific providers.
A list such as this doesn't appear to be readily available on the OT website.
Yours sincerely,
Tom

Tçnâ koe Tom,
Thank you for your email of 19 August 2024, in response to our email to
you of 9 August 2024 regarding the scope of your OIA request – Oranga
Tamariki Providers.
Your request for “a complete list of Oranga Tamariki’s partnered care
providers” is effectively an OIA request in and of itself, and we are
unable to provide this to you to assist you to scope your current OIA
request.
Please let us know if there is any other way you want to refine your
original request, otherwise we will make a decision and respond to your
request as currently worded.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Dear OIA_Requests (OT),
My mistake. I'd have thought a Ministry would have a centralised list of the providers they work with and fund, especially given that one of your DCEs is accusing those providers of treating the Ministry like a 'cash cow.' In order to make such comments, wouldn't Mr Haimona need a thorough understanding of who is being funded and how much?
Please could I refine my request to account for the previous two financial years in relation to Barnardos NZ and Family Start. So this would look like:
- Funding allocated to Barnardos NZ and Family Start per year for the previous two financial years
- Whether this agreed funding has at this point in time (22/08/2024) been allocated in full
- Whether this funding has been allocated to Barnardos NZ and Family Start prior to the start of each new financial year (30 June 2023 and 2024), OR
- Whether OT has failed to hand over funds to its providers in a timely manner, or at an agreed date, or at the date expected by Barnardos NZ and Family Start
- Whether Oranga Tamariki is currently holding funding which has been allocated to providers, but not yet been transferred to those providers. If so, what is the dollar value of this
- All correspondence between OT and Barnardos NZ and Family Start regarding the impacts of funding cuts
- All correspondence between OT and Barnardos NZ and Family Start regarding funds which providers are expecting
