Dear Ms Te Whenua
Official Information Request
Our Ref: SSCOIA 2020-0033
I refer to your official information request received on 18 April 2020 where you asked:
“Does the SSC hold information on employment equity information analysing
within each state sector entity:
a) How many Maori women (and what percentage of the total number of
applicants) applied for Tier 2 roles or above?
b) How many Maori women (and what percentage of the total number of
successful applicants) were successfully appointed to the jobs which they applied
for at Tier 2 or above?”
The Of icial 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 wil 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 2 June 2020.
We wil keep you updated on the progress of our response to your request.
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 investigation and review 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
