Tēnā koe Phoebe
Thank you for your Official Information Act Request of 1 October 2021 to the
Department of Corrections – Ara Poutama Aotearoa (Corrections), requesting
information regarding Covid-19 related funding and spending.
Corrections previously extended the timeframe of our response under section
15A(1)(b) of the OIA. We are now advising you that we have decided to grant your
request but are unable to do this by 13 December 2021. We have prepared the draft
response but due to unforeseen circumstances, the sign out has been delayed. We
will provide you our response as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for
this further delay.
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.
