Dear hnzOIA,
Ī have made a complain to the Ombudsman due to the missing information.
We are entitled to know what our government is up to. There was a pilot program for vaccinations in workplaces, doses were dispatched and there would have been dispatch reports. There's a staff member, Rachel Mackay who was in charge of the program at Te Whatu Ora who still works there. There will be product inventories and as well as a record of who was in the pilot program exclusive of the alleged 7,500 emails which Te Whatu Ora say will be too much effort.
Such a program of work would not be managed only by an inbox with 7500 emails. Other systems will hold this info, eg spread sheets, procurement and dispatch systems.
Yours sincerely,
Erika Whittome
