Dear Dr Mohammed
YOUR OFFICIAL INFORMATION ACT (1982) REQUEST HBDHB REF: OIA2020001
I refer to your Official Information Act request dated 30 December 2019 where you requested information from
Hawke’s Bay District Health Board (HBDHB). Your questions and HBDHB’s response is provided below:
Could you please provide me with the following:
- the total number of PGY 1 house officers positions advertised solely for NZREX graduates (2014 - 2020).
- the total number of all hired medical doctors (2014 - 2020).
Please break down the data by year (i.e., 2014 = XX, 2015 = XX).
Hawke’s Bay DHB do not advertise any PGY 1 House Officer positions solely for NZREX graduates; the DHB
follows Health Work Force New Zealand requirements when employing PGY1s.
Please refer to the table below for the total number of all hired medical doctors (2014 2020).
