Dear Mario

Re: Official Information Request – Covid-19 hospitalisations

I am writing to acknowledge your official information request dated 18 October 2021.

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible and, in any event, no later than 15 November 2021. We will contact you if an extension is required.

“Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic response, Auckland DHB continues to experience significantly higher volumes of requests for information. Many key Auckland DHB and Auckland Regional Public Health Service staff are currently committed to tasks associated with the current COVID-19 outbreak. This will invariably impact on our ability to respond to certain OIA requests within normal timeframes.

If you have any questions about management of OIA during the COVID pandemic you may find it helpful to read the following from the Office of the Ombudsman https://smex12-5-en-ctp.trendmicro.com:4...

Please note that, like other DHBs across New Zealand, Auckland DHB has adopted a model of proactive disclosure which sees OIA responses publically available on our website approximately one month after they have been released. If you believe that there are any special reasons why proactive disclosure should not apply to our response to you, we will be happy to consider this.

Kind regards
Priscilla

Dear Auckland District Health Board,

please provide the following information regarding the Covid-19 cases that required hospital care during the current delta outbreak so far.

1. What is the total number of Covid cases that required hospital care in your region since the start of the current delta outbreak?

2. How many of those cases have been hospitalised for
a) Covid-19 related acute health issues as a primary reason?
b) unrelated acute health issues as a primary reason while testing positive for Covid?
c) monitoring purposes only (no acute health issues at time of admission)?

3. What was the average time spent in hospital?

4. How many of those cases required supplemental oxygen at some point during their hospital stay?

Yours faithfully,

M Funken
