Dear Leesa Watts,

Thank for the information that has been forwarded to me, it is not what was requested and I'm deeply disappointed at the proposal to charge me to release the information I asked for. I've made this request to all the DHB's and your's is the first to propose a charge, and not until the 20th working day or thereabouts.

I will be raising this issue with this Ombudsmans Office.

Yours sincerely,

Mark Montgomery

The Waikato DHB have declined to release the request information on the 20th working day. They've also written that to release the information to me they will charge me $2736.00. None of the DHB's to date have asked raised the issue of charging for information releases for this information.
A complaint will be made to to Ombudsman Office
