Dear Travis
Transfer of request for information to the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet
(DPMC)
Thank you for your request on 28 April 2020 under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) to
the Ministry of Health (the Ministry) for:
“I would like to request the audio file for the alert tone that plays at the beginning and at the
end of the COVID-19 announcements on TV and on the web.”
The Ministry does not hold the information pertaining to your request. However, I have been
advised that the information you have requested is more aligned with the functions of DPMC.
As a result, I have decided to transfer your request to DPMC in accordance with section 14 of
the Act. You can expect a response from DPMC in due course.
You have the right, under section 28 of the Act, to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision to
transfer your request for information.
Yours sincerely
Zoe Royden
Acting Manager OIA Services
Office of the Director-General
