Note we numbered your requests for ease of reference.
We are currently considering your request under the Official Information Act 1982 and
the Privacy Act 2020. We require an extension to respond to your request, as the
request is for a large quantity of information, or necessitates a search through a large
quantity of information, and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably
interfere with the operations of the Health and Disability Commissioner, and/or as the
consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper
response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit. We anticipate that
your request will be processed by
29 November 2024.
For the avoidance of doubt, this extension is made pursuant to section 15A of the
Official Information Act and section 48 of the Privacy Act, and extends the time limits
specified in sections 14 and 15 of the Official Information Act and sections 43 and 44
of the Privacy Act.
You may seek a review of this decision from the Office of the Ombudsman or the
Privacy Commissioner.
We apologise for any inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.
