Good afternoon Erika.

 

I refer to your official information request dated 3 December 2024 for information regarding government vaccination mandates.  We have decided to grant your request in part, namely information which relates to your questions 1, 2, 3 and 5. However, it will take us some time to prepare the information for release.  We will send you the information by 22 January 2025.

 

Regarding question 4. “Would you please kindly share the emails and correspondence regarding this decision to remove this policy ?” given the amount of resource required to process your request, there are two options:

  1. Charge for making this part of your requested information available. To provide the information as requested we estimate staff time would be two working days.  The Ministry of Justice Charging Guidelines detail the cost of staff time, after the first hour, is $38 for each half hour.  The full amount to be paid prior to release of the information.
  2. Refine your request in question 4.  Specify which emails you require copies of, for example, just the all-staff consultation emails that went out.

 

Before we proceed further with your request, would you please confirm your preferred option as above.

 

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 www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

 

Regards

Karen
