Dear Ministry of Health,
On 12 July I submitted as OIA request to yourselves, which you were obligated by law to respond to by 09 August 2016. You have failed to do so.
It would be appreciated if you could please respond within the next few business days to acknowledge the lodgement of the original request and this follow up correspondence.
I continue to await a response to my OIA request.
Yours faithfully,
Rob Gourdie
Ministry of Health
Dear Rob Gourdie,
I have had a thorough look and we have no record of having received a
request under the Official Information Act 1982 in this name or from this
email. We will be happy to acknowledge and process your OIA within the 20
working days stipulated by the Act if you send it through again. We will
be following up with FYI to see if there is a technical glitch resulting
in the emails not reaching us.
Kind regards,
Melissa Buckle l OIA Co-ordinator

Sent request to Ministry of Health again.
From: Rob Gourdie
Dear Ministry of Health,
FYI have placed correspondence against this request advising there was a technical error. Can you please pick up the original request or are you specifically requesting I resubmit the request word-for-word? Please clarify, as my preference would be you respond to the original request.
Yours faithfully,
Rob Gourdie

Rob - I resent the original request at the same time as my comment above (sorry, I should have have been clearer). I've also confirmed in our logs that the Ministry's server accepted delivery.

I have examined our mail logs and found that the initial email was blocked by the ministry's mail server. This was not targeted at FYI.org.nz; rather one of the IP addresses of our mail provider was on a spam blacklist.
