Kia ora John Luke

 

Thank you for your email of 21 June 2021, requesting information about
wing patrons. Your request has been considered under the Official
Information Act 1982 (OIA).

 

Corrections needs to extend the timeframe of our response to your request
by 20 working days, pursuant to section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA, as
consultations necessary to make a decision on the request are such that a
proper response to the request cannot reasonably be made within the
original time limit. Therefore, you can expect to receive a response to
your request by 16 August 2021. If you no longer require this information,
please let us know as soon as possible.

 

I trust the information provided is of assistance. Should you have any
concerns with this response, I would encourage you to raise them with
Corrections. Alternatively, you are advised of your right to also raise
any concerns with the Office of the Ombudsman. Contact details are: Office
of the Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington 6143.

 

Ngā mihi
