Advice on Problem Gambling Foundation funding

Alex Harris made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health

The request was partially successful.

From: Alex Harris

Dear Ministry of Health,

On 21 March 2014 the NZ Herald reported that Ministry of Health funding for the Problem Gambling Foundation would be cut ("Anti-gambling body to get chop: MP"). I would like to request the following information under the OIA:

* all advice and communications in the past year relating to the Problem Gambling Foundation's funding.

I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.

With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ citizen and in NZ.

Yours faithfully,

Alex Harris

Dear Alex

Thank you for your request for official information, received by the
Ministry of Health on 21 March 2014.

Your request has been received and logged.  As required under the Official
Information Act 1982, the Ministry will respond to your request within 20
working days.  You should receive a response on or before 18 April 2014.

If a large amount of information has been requested or if the Ministry
needs to consult in order to make a decision, we may need to extend this
date (this is provided for in section 15A of the Act).  We will advise you
if such an extension is necessary.

The Ministry's reference number for your request is: H201401073.

Yours sincerely

I refer to your recent request for information relating to the tender
process for services to prevent and minimise gambling harm.  You will
receive formal advice of the decisions made on your request in due course.
 However, in the meantime, you might wish to note that one document that
appears to fall within the scope of your request (or is generally related
to the matter), the PricewaterhouseCoopers Retrospective Probity Review of
the RFP process, has now been published on the Ministry's website.  A link
is attached below.

Hi Alex

We have sent you 22 emails in total.  The first (#1) just contained the
two page cover letter, all of which is on the fyi website now, and numbers
2 to 22 contained the documents that the Ministry has released, some of
which will have redactions.

I have cc'd the contact at FYI so they are aware of the situation.

Kind regards,
Sean-Paul

From: Alex Harris

Dear Ministry of Health,

Thanks for your response. I have complained to the Ombudsman about your inappropriate use of s9(2)(i) and 9(2)(j). You are not engaged in "commercial activities", and neither can the "negotiations" clause be used to hide information about a settled contract. I suggest you consult the Ombudsman's online guide (here: http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/resou... ) so that you do not mis-apply these clauses in future.

Yours faithfully,

Alex Harris

The emails labelled OIA Request RFP Documents #1,2,3,7,9,10 & 11 of 12",
were to large to be received by your email.

We are now in the process of splitting them into more managable sized
documents.
