Kia ora Craig

I refer to your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 3 February 2025, and am writing to let you know we have transferred this request to Ministry of Social Development (MSD)/

This is because information you have sought is not held by Whaikaha, but is believed to be held by MSD, as Disability Support Services is a business unit within MSD. In these circumstances, we are required by section 14 of the OIA to transfer your request.

You will hear further from MSD concerning your request in due course.
