I apologise for the lateness of the response to your OIA. A response has been drafted and is proceeding through Police’s internal review and approval process. Unfortunately, I am unable to confirm a release date at this stage, but I can assure you we are endeavouring to get this to you as soon as practicable. You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this delay. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.

Dear Ministerial Services,

Thank you for your thorough, albeit delayed, response.

Can you please confirm that the survey results (aggregated, thematic etc) were NOT provided to all staff prior to the new WFH policy being finalised?
