Importance of local contractors in emergency response

Harris Leigh made this Official Information request to Kieran McAnulty

The request was successful.

From: Harris Leigh

Dear Minister for Emergency Management,

Under the OIA I seek any information you hold relating to the importance of local contractors in delivering emergency management responses in Aotearoa.

Specifically I am interested to know:
1) Whether the urgency of emergency responses means it local contractors are often best placed to provide assistance;
2) Whether it would be possible to replace the use of local contractors with directly employed public servants as proposed by the Leader of the Opposition.

Yours faithfully,

Harris Leigh
