 Thank you for your email of 27 August 2024, asking for the following
information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):

 

In January 2024 roles for a senior advisor and product manager were
advertised for the national quarantine capability for ‘in the event of a
future pandemic’.

Since February 2024 could I be provided with documents such as briefings,
memos or key emails or other relevant documentation that show: 
The outputs and outcomes of both roles realised or expected since February
2024. The work program of these roles since February 2024. The salary of
these roles.
Could I also be provided with emails and documents such as briefings,
memos or otherwise that relates to the setting up or planning or
implementation of a national MIQ system since February 2024 as part of a
quarantine readiness plan and which former or new MIQ suppliers are
involved.

(As described in the 1 July 2023 Health NZ press release announcing a
quarantine readiness plan and development of proposal for investment in an
evolving portfolio of quarantine interventions)
 

 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 8 October 2024.

 

This extension is required because consultation necessary to make a
decision on your request as such 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.
