Government Department Strategy (GDS) allocated to the Ministry

Details of the request

Sheet 1: Review of the 2023 GDS Index

Please update the status of each GDS in the yellow-highlighted column F:

1. (Write in one of three options:
   ‘still active’,
2. ‘archived’ (i.e. no longer in operation), or
3. ‘no longer owned and operated by this government department’. If this is the case, please say who it has been transferred to (e.g. your comment might be ‘transferred from MOH to Health NZ in March 2024’).

Sheet 2: Potential ‘new’ GDSs

Has the department published a new strategy document in the 2024 calendar year that may meet the GDS definition? (Find the definition and learn more about the Index on the next page.) If so, please add a new row – one for each strategy document – and complete the yellow-highlighted columns A to D:

1. Add the strategy’s title and PDF link in columns A and B. In the rare case you know of another strategy that should have been included in the 2023 GDS Index but was not, please add a further row to this sheet and provide an explanation in Column D. We are happy to retrospectively add and even archive GDSs to ensure the GDS Index keeps an accurate record.
2. In column C, write either:
   1. ‘replacing an existing GDS’ (and please also name the GDS it replaces in column C), or
   2. ‘completely new strategy document’.
3. Add any additional information in column D.
