Dear Richard,

 

I refer to your request of 18 February 2025. As your request is for a
large quantity of official 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 University, and
consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a
response cannot reasonably be given within the original time limit, the
University has extended the time limit for your request by 20 working days
under section 15A(1)(a) and (b) of the OIA.

 

The new maximum time limit for the University’s response is 16 April 2025
we will respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

You have the right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are
dissatisfied with this extension.

 

Yours sincerely,

Farleigh Quinlivan

Kia Ora,

As today is 17 April, I am following up on my request dated 18 February 2025. The extended response deadline of 16 April, as outlined in your previous correspondence, has now passed.

By law, the University should have responded by this date. Given the significant public interest in this information, particularly among prospective medical school applicants, I hope that the response will be made available without further delay.

Yours sincerely,

Richard Shaw
