Dear Gloria
Thank you for your Official Information Act request, received yesterday.
We are working on a response for you, which will be sent as soon as
practical and within the 20 working day timeframe as per the Ombudsman's
Guidance, by 17 May 2019. We will contact you if we have any queries with
the request or need to extend the timeframe for your response. In those
cases, we will advise why the extension is necessary, and indicate when
the response will be ready.
Please note that, like all DHBs across New Zealand, Counties Manukau DHB
has begun a process of proactive disclosure, which means OIA responses
will be publicly available via our website around 10 days after they have
been released. Our response will advise if we intend to publish the
response, (with personal information removed) and related documents on the
CMDHB website. If you advise us of special reasons why proactive
disclosure should not apply to your response, we will consider this.
Kind regards
Dinah
Dinah Nicholas
Executive Assistant to Margie Apa - Chief Executive
Board Secretary
