Dear Katrina,
RE: Official Information Act Request
Thank you for your enquiry received on 20 July 2018 made under section 12 of the Official
Information Act 1982. Your request was as follows:
1) Number of Maori children 15 and under with identified disabilities and their iwi
affiliation in WDHB region
2) Number of Maori youth 15-18 with identified disabilities and their iwi affiliation
in WDHB region
3) Types of disabilities for child and youth in point 1 and 2
This information is not held by Waikato DHB. We have, therefore, refused your request
relying on Section 18(g) of the Official Information Act 1982 –
“that the information requested
is not held, and is not believed to be held by or is more closely connected with the functions
of, any other Department, Minister, organisation or local authority”.
You have the right to request the Ombudsman investigate and review the decision to extend
the time to respond. The Ombudsman’s postal address is:
The Ombudsman
Office of the Ombudsmen
P O Box 10-152
WELLINGTON
Yours sincerely,
Marc ter Beek
