Dear Chris
Thank you for your email of 11 October 2021 to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment
(the Ministry) requesting, under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following information:
“1.
I request the data dictionary

related to the booking and operation of the Managed Isolation and Quarantine system. Where a
system has been decommissioned, I request that you provide the data dictionary as at the date of
that decommissioning.
2.
I request the change log (such as might be available in a software version control system)
of all changes to the data dictionary for each database or other data storage system used to store
information related to the booking and operation of the Managed Isolation and Quarantine
system. For each database or data storage system I request this change log data starting from 1
January 2020, or from the date on which that system began storing data, whichever date is later.”
I am writing to advise you the Ministry is extending the due date for response under the following section
of the Act:
15A(1)(b)
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 we are extending the timeframe of your request by 15 working days to 30 November 2021. We
will respond to you sooner if we are able to.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information to
make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
Yours sincerely
Jacquiline Cooke
Team Leader, Ministerial Services
