Kia ora Hemant,

 

Thank you for your email of 12 September to the Ministry for Ethnic
Communities (the Ministry) requesting, under the Official Information Act
(the Act), the following information:

 

o Can I please get a copy of all correspondence and/or advice that has
been provided to anyone outside of the Ministry for Ethnic Communities
on the Covid 19 Response.

 

Due to the broad nature of your request and the large amount
of information that would fall in scope, the Ministry would like to give
you the opportunity to refine the scope of your request to enable it to be
answered.

 

Some examples of how to refine the scope of your request include:

o What specific information are you requesting in regards to COVID-19?
o Is there a specific time period you are looking for COVID-19
correspondence?
o Are you looking for specific COVID-19 correspondence between key
Ministry staff?

 

If you wish to discuss your request please contact me by email at
[email address] .

 

Please, note, if the Ministry has not heard from you by 8 October 2021, we
will proceed to make a decision on your request.  In this case, your
request will be refused under the Act due to substantial collation.

 

Ngā mihi,

Gaia

Kia ora Hemant,

(the Act), the following information:

 

o Can I please get a copy of all correspondence and/or advice that has

on the Covid 19 Response.

 

Due to the substantial amount of work that would be required to research
and collate the information you have requested, we are refusing your
request under section 18(f) of the Act, as the information requested
cannot be made available without substantial collation or research.

 

If you wish to discuss this decision with the Ministry, please feel free
to contact Gaia Maridati at [1][email address].
Gaia is able to provide further assistance should you be willing to refine
your request.

 

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

Yours Sincerely
