Dear Jenny Graves

 

Thank you for your Official Information Act request received by the
Department of Internal Affairs on 6 August 2012 seeking the following:

 

Please provide information provided to employees that sets out role,
operating framework, what they can and cannot do, expectations when
working in a Ministers’ Offices in the position as a Private Secretary (or

Please provide a list of positions located in Ministers’ Offices occupied
by a Department employee. Please also provide a list documents provided to
the employees who currently occupy these positions. Please provide these
documents. If any are withhold,please the ground and the reason for not
providing it.

 

I am endeavouring to process your request as quickly as possible. 
However, your request requires a significant amount of consultation to be
undertaken and therefore the 20 working day time limit has been extended
under section 15A(1)(b) of the Act. 

 

This section provides for the time limit to be extended if “consultations
necessary to make a decision on the request are such that a proper
response to the request cannot reasonably be made within the original time
limit”. 'I am therefore extending the deadline on your request by 20
working days.

 

You have a right, by way of complaint under section 28(3) of the Act to an
Ombudsman, to seek an investigation and review of these decisions.  The
address for contact is: Office of Ombudsmen, PO Box 10152, Wellington.
