Acupuncture Treatment Subsidies
Mark Honeychurch made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police
The request was refused by New Zealand Police.
From: Mark Honeychurch
Dear New Zealand Police,
The Acupuncture NZ website claims that your organisation subsidises acupuncture treatments for staff, as can be seen on this web page:
http://www.acupuncture.org.nz/content/ac...
I would like to know the following:
Going back as many years as is practically possible, how much has your organisation spent, for each year, subsidising acupuncture treatment for staff members.
Are there any other “alternative” treatments that your organisation subsidises for employees? If so, how much has been spent per year on each? For this question, “alternative treatments” includes, but is not restricted to, chiropractic, osteopathy and homeopathy. For a full list of alternative medicine treatments, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fo...
I can confirm that I am a New Zealand citizen, and as such I am eligible to make Official Information Act requests.
Yours faithfully,
Mark Honeychurch

Dear Sally,
It appears that NZ Police has missed their deadline for my OIA request, and unfortunately I have not been given any information about why this has happened. Even if an extension to the deadline is required, which has not been communicated to me, it looks like today would be the last day of the extension. Can I please get an update on the status of my request for data about subsidies for staff acupuncture treatments?
Yours sincerely,
Mark Honeychurch
