Time Extension of your Official Information Act request, reference: GOV-038792
Thank you for your email of 14 March 2025, asking for information about ACC’s contract with DriveMed NZ
under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act).
ACC needs extra time
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 wil 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 9 May 2025.
This extension is needed because consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that
a proper response to your request cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
If you have any queries about this letter, please contact me on
[email address]. I will be
happy to answer any questions or, if you have any concerns, work with you to resolve these.
If you are not happy with this response, 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.
