Kia ora Cooper O’Neil,

 

I am writing to you regarding your request for information below:

Please provide me with the following information from the last (5) years:

o All invoices relating to SJS.
o All memos/emails/decision letters regarding funding.
o A list of individual grants paid to SJS.
o Any projects that SJS obtained specific funding for, e.g website
redesign and their requested amounts.

 

This letter is to advise you that the Ministry has received your request,
however requires more time to respond to this request. In accordance with
section 15(1) and 15A of the Official Information Act, the Ministry’s
decision will be with you no later than 30 October 2024.

 

The reason for the extension is that consultations necessary to make a
decision on the request are such that a proper response to the request
cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit OR the request is
for a large quantity of information or necessitates a search through a
large quantity of information and meeting the original time limit would
unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Ministry.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or 0800 802 602.

 

If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this
decision, please feel free to contact [2][MSD request email]

 

I will respond to you sooner if I am able to.

 

Ngâ mihi,
