Time Extension of your Official Information Act request, reference: GOV-014845
Thank you for your email of 26 October 2021, asking for the following information under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
1.
I wish to request information if compensation payments are made to families who have had
loved ones suffer a major reaction from the Covid Vaccination.
2.
Are compensation payments made to families who have had loved ones die as a result of the
Covid Vaccination - or die shortly after the Covid Vaccination?
3.
If so - can you please share this amount with the public.
ACC needs extra time
The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after
the day we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we
are therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision, to
30 November 2021.
This extension is necessary because consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are
such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
How to get in touch
Please contact me on
[email address] if you would like to talk about this letter. I will be
happy to answer any questions or, if you have any concerns, work with you to resolve these.
If you are not happy with this response, you have the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman.
Information about how to do this is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by phoning 0800
802 602.
