NZ Mental Health Transition

Rodney Parsons made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

Response to this request is long overdue. By law New Zealand Police should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.

From: Rodney Parsons

Dear New Zealand Police,

Provide the minutes for the governance meetings related to the police withdrawal from providing mental health responses. These are the minutes from the police national headquarters in Wellington, which have generally occurred on Wednesdays, chaired by a rotating group of senior officers.

Yours faithfully,

Rodney Parsons
