Tēnā koe John,

 

Thank you for your email asking for the following information under the
Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):

 

"1. A list of all meetings attended by Lester Levy in his role as
Commissioner for Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora from the date he assumed
this role to the present.
2. Copies of the meeting minutes or summaries for each meeting where
Lester Levy was present"

 

This email is to let you know that Health NZ needs more time to make a
decision on your request.

 

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 September 2024.

 

This extension is required because the consultations required are such
that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time
limit.

 

If you have any questions, please contact us
at [1][email address]

 

If you are not happy with this extension, 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.

 

Nāku iti noa, nā
