Dear Government Services,

Thank you for confirming that you have started to progress my request for Official Information of 20 April 2017, for which I respectfully requested under urgency within 10 working days of my request.

I note that my OIA request of 20 April 2017 complies with your handy tips of;

- being specific as to what I am seeking, therefore complying with the principle of due particularity.

- my request is clear, and free of prolox, repetition and concisely describes the requested official information that I have sought.

In terms of urgency, for this specific request of 20 April 2017, which you have confirmed work has commenced/progressed, and which effectively seeks confirmation of, and or the provision of copies of the following official information ;

1). It would be appreciated if you could confirm under the Official Information Act as to when (Month and Year) that this contract (Version 2) came into force.

2). I would also appreciate you making available to me a copy of the equivalent referred ACC Health Purchasing Master Agreement between ACC and DHB's that was in force as at 1 January 2012, and all subsequent updates to the Master Agreement's for DHB's through until present day.

3) I welcome the provision a copy of the ACC Health Purchasing Master Agreement between ACC and Waitemata District Health Board that was in force as at 1 January 2012, and copies of all subsequent updates to said Agreement/s through until present.

4) I welcome the provision a copy of the ACC Health Purchasing Master Agreement between ACC and Auckland District Health Board that was in force as at 1 January 2012, and copies of all subsequent updates to said Agreement/s through until present.

in the event that copies of the actual agreements listed in my requests 2-4 of my OIA request dated 20 April 2017 are updated on a yearly basis, then if it would allow for my request to be returned to me within the 10 working days that I requested the supply of the information, then I am more than willing to accept copies of the specific contracts under requests 2). - 4). of my letter dated 20 April 2017, and re-listed above, that were in force as at the 1 January 2012, 1 July 2014, and 1 July 2016, if this would at all speed up the provision of this information that will be held on ACC's system and therefore should be easily located for reproduction and supply.

I note your comments about your request to be supplied with specific dates of review and appeals that I have pending, however I am unsure of the relevance of me providing such information to ACC Government Services in the context that upon receipt of the information from ACC Government Services, there is the potential for me to have to seek further clarification through FYI for matters relating to the content of the agreements that I have been provided copies of, which will compromise my reviews and appeals.

Please rest assured that I fully understand that capacity issues play a part in the provision of the official information that is requested from ACC Government Services, and am more than willing to liaise with ACC Government Services (as I have done so today), to work within ACC's capacity to see the earliest available provision of the official information that I originally requested on the 20 April 2017.

On a final note, given your response to my request for my full OIA requests to be quoted back to me in full in your letter of acknowledgements of my request, I am at a bit of a loss in respect of ACC Government Services unwillingness to work with me constructively on this issue, give the fact that in a majority of cases ACC Government Services has quoted my exact OIA requests back to me within their acknowledgement letter.

I would appreciate your clarification as to why there appears to be a level of inconsistency in the manner my OIA requests have been acknowledged with full quotations of my requests in many instances yet no reference in your written acknowledgement of my OIA requests, as has been the case in this matter.

I find the fact that the FYI website allows for the copying of text from earlier FYI communications, has enabled me to easily paste text copy into a subsequent FYI response quickly and with ease. An example is the fact that it took under 10 seconds to copy and past my requests 1).-4). re-listed above from my original request through FYI of 20 April 2015, into today's correspondence.

I thank you for your time and assistance and welcome your updated response to my communication today.

Yours sincerely,

David Lawson

*****************************

My official information requests for the specified agreements specific to the WDHB under OIA Request 2). and the ADHB under OIA Request 3) were made so that I can fully understand the obligations between the separate and respective DHB's in the context of the service provision by both the WDHB and the ADHB in the handling of accidental injuries between 1 January 2012 and present day.

ACC Government services incorrect provision of two generic service contracts incepted in July 2014 and April 2016, that are not the actual the specific contracts that I have requested, has now caused unnecessary delay in the provision of this information to myself.

Again I respectfully request that the official information that I requested from ACC Government Services on 20 and 23 April 2017, and for which has not been provided to me in breach of ACC Government Services' obligations to me under the Official Information Act 1982, be provided to me under urgency by the end of business close on the 21 May 2017, and as per usual under s16(2) of the Official Information Act, my preferred way of receiving a response is by email to the address from which ACC received the original request, not by post.

Dear Government Services,

I refer to my earlier response to ACC Government Services response dated 5 May 2017.

Having re-read my earlier correspondence also dated 18 May 2017, I note that ACC will not technically be in breach of the OIA 1982 in terms of my OIA Requests 2)., 3) and 4) until the 20th May 2017, should the information that I requested in my OIA correspondence dated 20 and 23 April 2017, not have been provided to me by the end of business close on the 19 May 2017.

I therefore respectfully request that ACC Government Services provide me in full by the end of business close on the 19 May 2017, the official information that I have listed in my earlier correspondence also dated 18 May 2017, as having not been received to date from ACC Government Services in line with my earlier request for urgency, and in association with my OIA Requests 2)., 3), and 4) of 20 and 23 April 2017.

I thank you for your time and assistance.

Yours sincerely,

David Lawson

Dear Government Services,

I note receipt of your message dated May 26, 2017 which responded to my communications dated 18 May 2017.

My communications to ACC government services on 18 May 2017 drew attention to the fact that ACC government services response dated 5 May 2017 to my request for official information submitted through FYI on 20 April 2017, substantively and materially failed the Accident Compensation's obligations to me under the Official Information Act 1982, by not having provided me with the specific official information that I had requested on 20 April 2017 in respect of my OIA Requests 2)., 3) and 4).

The communications of 18 May 2017, also brought to ACC Government Services attention that as at 19 May 2017 the Accident Compensation would be in statutory breach of the OIA 1982 in respect of the non provision of the specific information that I respectfully requested in my OIA request of 20th April 2017 in Requests 2)., 3) and 4).

My initial communication on 18 May 2017 to Government Services requested remediation under urgency by the 21 May 2017 to be applied to the provision of the specific official information requested in Requests 2)., 3) and 4). submitted 20 April 2017, that ACC Government Services has withheld without providing statutory reasons for the non provision of the official information past the 19th May 2017.

My follow up communication on the 18 May 2017, brought my request for the provision of the specific official information unreasonably withheld in ACC Government Services communication of 5 May 2017 under urgency back to the 19 May 2017, marking when the Accident Compensation Corporation became fully in breach of my statutory rights under the Official Information Act 1982, should ACC have not provided me with the specific official information requested in my OIA Requests 2)., 3) and 4) submitted to ACC through FYI on the 20 April 2017.

The Accident Compensation Corporation by the end of business close today will be 11 days in statutory breach of the Corporation's obligations to me under the Official Information Act 1982, by not having provided me with the specific official information that I requested in Requests 2).,3) and 4), of my OIA requests submitted to the Accident Compensation Corporation through www.FYI.org.nz on the 20 April 2017.

If my request for urgency had have been adhered to and the information under requests 2)., 3) and 4) had been specifically provided to me in full within the 10 working days respectfully requested on 20 April 2017, by the 5 May 2017, I would have been able to proceed and make use of the official information that currently remains outstanding, in breach of Accident Compensation Corporations obligations to me under the Official Information Act 1982 in response to my OIA requests submitted through FYI on 20 April 2017.

I respectfully request that the Accident Compensation Corporation remedy this situation immediately by providing the specific official information in full without further delay that I requested in my official information Requests 2)., 3) and 4) on 20 April 2017, and which has been unreasonably withheld past the Corporation's statutory 20 working day obligations (19 May 2017, if ACC did not apply urgency as per my request) under the Official Information Act 1982.

Yours sincerely,

David Lawson

Dear Government Services,

I refer to your communication dated 7 June 2017 and note that ACC Government Services has once again failed to provide the information specifically requested on April 20 2017,and has subsequently and outside of the 20 day OIA response request of 19 May 2017, provided reasons for withholding the official information that I originally requested.

Had ACC Government Services provided indications for possible reasons on the 5 May 2017 for withholding the information that I had requested under urgency on 20 April 2017, a whole month extra would have been available for me to address ACC Government Services desire to with hold this information from a public forum.

To help speed up the information that I requested under the OIA on 20 April 2017 in the context of the background information that is provided in your latest communication dated 7 June 2017, I request that the following remedies for the outstanding Official Information be made available as indicated below, given that ACC Government Services inaction on 5th May 2017 to either justify the provision of information that did not satisfy my OIA request of 20 April 2017, and omission to have had indicated that information would be likely withheld by ACC relying on either section 18 (f), and or section 15 (1A) of the Act, which has caused at the least a full months delay in the process of me being provided the information sought.

Request for remedial action releasing the following Official Information immediately to me by ACC Government Services;

Please also provide a summarised version of the 135 documents that you have referred to in your response dated 7 June 2017 as having applied to the WDHB and ADHB's contracts for services. Once received I can establish if all of this information is relevant.

Requested Immediate Remedies;

It would be appreciated if you could confirm whether the original information that I have requested from each of the district health boards is held in PDF format which can simply be placed on a memory stick with ease and supplied to me in this manner.

It would also be appreciated if you could confirm whether this information that I have requested is available to the public, and whether I am able to visit an ACC office to view and disseminate so as to establish what information I require and therefore be in a position to refine my search any further.

If this information is not publicly available within each of the relevant DHB catchment areas, I would appreciate ACC Government Services providing an explanation as to why this is not the case in the mane of fairness and transparency, since the contract for services between the Accident Compensation and the DHB's or an alternative service provider effectively defines the required standards of care that should be available to an accidentally injured person, and the basis for which an ACC claimant can base their appeal and or complaint to either ACC, the Agency or any other applicable oversight agency in order to seek remedy for services that fail to meet the required standards.

I thank you for your time and assistance and look forward to receiving the above official information and clarifications in the time frames requested above.

Yours sincerely,

David Lawson
