Dear Mohammed,
Official Information Act (1982) Request
I write in response to your Official Information Act request, received by us on 06 January 2020. You
requested the following information:
1.
The total number of PGY1 house officer’s positions advertised solely for NZREX graduates
(2014 - 2020).
a. Please break down the data by year (e.g., 2014 = XX, 2015 = XX, etc.)
2.
Could you please provide me with the total number of hired doctors by year (2014 - 2019)?
As context for this response, Counties Manukau Health (CM Health) provides health and support
services to people living in the Counties Manukau region (approx. 569,400 people). Our services are
delivered via hospital, outpatient/ ambulatory and community-based models of care.
Question 1 – The total number of PGY1 house officer’s positions advertised solely for NZREX
graduates (2014 - 2020). Please break down the data by year (e.g., 2014 = XX, 2015 = XX, etc.)
Across the three Auckland metro DHBs, recruitment into RMO positions is not done on an individual DHB
basis. Advertising for positions is regional, and PGY1 house officer positions are not advertised solely for
NZREX graduates.
