Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 on 10
May 2022 for:

 

Follow up request to a request I submitted 13 December for a copy of the
Ministry’s interim review of the August 2021 Delta outbreak of COVID-19
(H202117568).

In your response letter of 1 February, you advised me that the “draft
interim review of the outbreak was provided to senior leadership for
review on 24 December 2021. As feedback and discussion is ongoing, the
interim review is refused under section 9(2)(f)(iv) of the Act…”

I assume that in the more than 3 months since then this feedback and
discussion process is now completed, and I would therefore like to renew
my request for a copy of this interim review.

 

The document you have requested is intended to be proactively released on
the Ministry website in the coming weeks at the following link:
[1]https://www.health.govt.nz/about-ministr....
For this reason, your request is refused under section 18(d) of the Act.

 

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: [2][email address] or by calling 0800
802 602.
