The request was refused by Ministry for Primary Industries.
From: C. Bennett
Good afternoon,
Under the Official Information Act 1982, I would like to request the following information:
- An organisational chart for the Ministry for Primary Industries. Not limited to senior management level but capturing all staff employed by the Ministry. Given issues with privacy, I am not requesting the names of staff just their roles/job titles.
- A breakdown of how many staff at the Ministry are working on policy related to; a) sheep and beef b) forestry c) fisheries d) aquaculture e) horticulture f) apiculture g) dairy g) deer h) arable
I am looking to understand the Ministry's organisational structure, what teams exist, and how people resource is distributed across the various sectors within the primary industries.
Thank you for your consideration,
C. Bennett
