From: A David
Dear Bay of Plenty District Health Board
1) I request all copies of communications to and from CEO Helen Mason with respect to the DHB/NZNO Union negotiations which were sent/received from 1 April 2018 to the date of this request.
2) I request all copies of communications messages (Comms messages), key messages, or media messages (including all draft versions) prepared in relation to the media release containing the DHBs revised offer to NZNO which took place on or around 28 May 2018. This includes any accompanying emails or memos which were sent relating this these.
3) I request all correspondence or documents held which refer to the potential for nurses to earn $93,000 under the revised offer, as reported in the media on or around 28 May 2018.
Please note that there should be no reason to withhold this information pursuant to section 9 of the Official Information Act, as the DHB already widely distributed its revised offer to the media. I would also like this request to be treated with urgency as there is a strong public interest & need for transparency around the DHB decision-making process with respect to how it has announced this offer.
Thanks
Adam

Dear Cherie
TAS has not yet responded, and the auto-reply from TAS says Rory Barton no longer works there. Unfortunately the email contact for TAS is also obscured.
I appreciate you've already transferred this request but could you please flag this to TAS as the request is now a deemed decline under the OI Act.
Thanks again for taking the time to assist with this request.

Dear Diana Marriott,
I never received a response from TAS and Ms Martin has not responded to my latest query either. I'm reluctant to make a complaint to the Ombudsman but this is so long overdue, with no contact from anyone in such a long time I don't think I have any choice. Could you please flag this to TAS urgently?
If I don't have a response shortly I will be complaining to the Ombudsman.
Thanks

I apologise for your not having had a reply but can you please tell me the date I sent my email to you so that I can track where it has been sent - thanks and kind regards diana

Dear Cherie Martin
Sorry to bother you again but I want to double-check. I can't seem to locate TAS under schedule 1 of the OIA so I'm not sure if a transfer to TAS is valid under the Act? If TAS is acting on behalf of the DHB but itself not subject to the Act then the DHB would be deemed to hold the information?
I might be mistaken about the status of TAS but wanted to check in on that.
If TAS is subject to the Act as a department or organisation under schedule 1, could you please send a reminder to them? The email addresses are obscured on the FYI website so I can no longer message them.
I appreciate you taking the time to look into this for me.
Thanks

Dear Adam
Cherie Martin has forwarded your OIA request and this email is acknowledgement of receipt.
Yes TAS does respond to relevant OIA requests (i.e. requests which TSA holds information for and may answer, noting that some OIA requests can only be partially answered by TAS) on behalf of DHBs and DHBs may transfer OIA requests to TAS.
Unfortunately I'm unable to access your OIA request and would be grateful if you would email to myself and I'll ensure it is registered and managed by the right team at TAS.
Thank you for following up on the communication of this request and please do not hesitate to call if you require further assistance.
Regards
Rose
