Dear OIA_Requests (MVCOT),

Yes that would be satisfactory and of course if you have the total cost of each Tamariki divided by the number of Tamariki then you can get the average total cost of each Tamariki removed from 2000 to 2018. When you will be able to respond with these information ?

Yours sincerely,

Zane Collins

Dear Mr Collins,

 

Thank you for refining your request on 16 March 2018 to the following:

1.    How much is spent each year F2000 to F2018 on tamariki  in care and
how many tamariki that cost applies to?

 

2.    Also I would like to have the statistics of how many children were
removed from their biological parents care per year from year 2000 to 2018
per year.

 

We are unable to provide information to the end of Financial Year (FY)
2018 as this year is still in progress. We are also unable to provide the
number of children removed specifically from biological parents as you
have requested. This information would be held in individual client files
and such a request would be refused under section 18(f) as substantial
manual collation is required.

 

We are able to provide information to end of FY 2017, 30 June 2017, and
the number of children that entered care for each year which would refine
your request to the following:

1.    How much is spent each year FY2000 to FY2017 on tamariki in care and
how many tamariki does that cost apply to?

 

2.    How many tamariki entered care per year from FY 2000 to FY 2017?

 

If you agree to this refined request please confirm in an email to this
address.

We have attached your initial request for reference and look forward to
your clarification.

 

Kind regards,
