Dear Mr Presland

Thank you for your requests for official information, received on 3 April
2018 requesting:        
                '(Radio New Zealand has recently highlighted a number of
issues concerning Middlemore Hospital buildings including but not limited
to leaky buildings, rot, asbestos, sewerage leaking behind walls and power
supply problems) - What briefings did the Minister of                    
     Health receive concerning these issues from 2008 to October 2017?
 And what if any Cabinet Papers during this period referred to these
issues?'
I am writing to notify you that it is necessary to extend the period of
time available to respond to your request under section 15A of the
Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) as further time is needed to
research and collate the information. Furthermore, the information will
need to be reviewed by multiple parties in the Ministry of Health and
consultation will need to be undertaken with Counties Manukau District
Health Board before a decision can be made on the request.

You can now expect a response to your request on, or before Friday 1 June
2018.

You have the right, under section 28 of the Act, to ask the Ombudsman to
review my decision to extend the time available to respond to your
request.

Yours sincerely
