Dear Shane Gibson
Response to your request for official information
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) on 13 July 2020 to
the Ministry of Health (the Ministry) for:
"Please provide an extract of data from the system you currently use to track information
requests submitted under the Official Information Act 1982.
The extract should be in a machine readable form. This means either via a publicly
accessible AP/ or file in csv
or JSON format.
The extract should have the following details in a single row for each request that was
submitted:
- The title of the request.
- The date your organisation received the request
- The date of the final response from your organisation to that request, or the date you
closed the request
To reduce the effort required by your organisation I am requesting records for the date
range that the data is available in your O/A tracking system. For example if your O/A
tracking system only holds two years of records then I am requesting data for those two
years."
Information in response to your request is enclosed as Appendix One. The system used to track
OIA requests is periodically archived. The most current available data has been extracted for
the period 1 December 2019 to 22 July 2020. Some information has been withheld under
section 9(2)(a) of the Act to protect the privacy of natural persons.
I trust this information fulfils your request. Under section 28(3) of the Act you have the right to
ask the Ombudsman to review any decisions made under this request.
Please note that this response, with your personal details removed, may be published on the
Ministry website.
Yours sincerely
Megan cCoy
Acting Deputy Director-General
Office of the Director-General
