Response to your request for official information

 

Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act) to the Ministry of Health (the Ministry) on 21 October 2021 for:

 

“I noticed that part of my query was not answered, around the number of
locations that alerts have been generated for. Hopefully this data is
easily available from NCTS, and I would appreciate it if you could please
share it if available”

 

The Ministry’s response to your previous request noted one document had
been found within scope of the point of your request in question. This was
supplied in the Ministry’s response to you. While the Act allows New
Zealanders to ask for information from Ministers and government agencies,
there is no requirement for agencies to create new information or compile
information they do not hold. Your request is therefore refused under
section 18(g) of the Act on the grounds that the information sought is not
held by the Ministry. 

 

Under section 28(3) of the Act you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to
review any decisions made under this request. The Ombudsman may be
contacted by email at: [1][email address] or by calling 0800
802 602.

 

Please note that this response, with your personal details removed, may be
published on the Ministry website at:
[2]www.health.govt.nz/about-ministry/information-releases/responses-official-information-act-requests.

 

Nâku noa, nâ
