Dear Mr Nielson
Official Information Request
Our Ref: $$COIA 201910265
I refer to your Official Information request which was transferred to the State Services
Commission from the Ministry of Social Development on 9 December 2019 for:
"I request the following information under the official information act 1982:
1. When was the Social Wellbeing Board created?
2.
Who is a member of the Social Wellbeing Board?
3. Who chairs the Social Wellbeing Board? When were they appointed?
4. What is the purpose of the Social Wellbeing Board?
5.
A copy of the agenda and papers for the most recent three meetings of the
Social Wellbeing Board."
The Official Information Act 1982 requires that we advise you of our decision on your
request no later than 20 working days after the day that we received your request.
Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are, therefore, writing to
notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision, to 11 February 2020.
This extension is necessary because consultations needed to make a decision on your
request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time
limit.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this decision, please feel
free to contact Ministerial Services at [email address].
You have the right to seek an investigatlon and revlew by the Ombudsman of this decision.
Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz
or freephone 0800 802 602.
Yours sincerely
