Thank you for your request for official information received 29 May 2020
for:

"Request 1:
Please describe the best practice for a DHB to document any unlawful acts,
such as acts which are consistent with crimes under the Crimes Act, or
incidents, which have the potential to cause harm to a patient or DHB
employee (i.e., internal reports, eye-witness sworn statements, CCTV
footage, etc.).

Request 2:
To which agency or agencies must DHB’s report unlawful acts, such as acts
which are consistent with crimes under the Crimes Act, which are committed
by either DHB employees, members of the DHB governance, or members of the
public.

Request 3:
To which agency or agencies must DHB’s report incidents, which have the
potential to cause harm to a patient or DHB employee.

Request 4:
Impersonation of a physician is fraud, and thus a crime. Further, the
impersonation of a physician in a medical setting would be consistent with
an incident which has the potential to cause harm to a patient. I request,
for each DHB, the total number of incidents involving an allegation that a
member of the public had impersonated a physician, between 1 May 2019 and
31 August 2019, and in the event there were such incidents reported, the
date of the alleged incident, the names of the agencies the incidents were
reported to, and a description of the evidence provided to support the
allegation of the incident.

Request 5:
Unauthorised access, by a patient, to secure and restricted areas which
require employee key-card access, such as surgical theatres and pathology
laboratories, where diagnostic and biohazardous material are kept, would
be an incident which has the potential to cause harm to a patient or DHB
employee. Such an incident has the potential to be a crime, if it involved
breaking and entering or theft of an employee key-card. I request, for
each DHB, the total number of incidents involving an allegation that a
member of the public had gained unauthorised access to a surgical theatre
or pathology laboratory, between 1 May 2019 and 13 August 2019, and in the
event there were such incidents reported, the date of the alleged
incident, the names of the agencies the incidents were reported to, and a
description of the evidence provided to support the allegation of the
incident.

Request 6:
According to the MoH standards and legal precedent, patients’ medical
records are confidential and access is restricted to the purpose in which
they were obtained (for the care and treatment of the patient) and may
only be accessed with the patients consent. Please refer to HISO 10064 and
the Health Information Privacy Code 1994]. MoH standards (HISO 10029:2015
Health Information Security Framework) requires DHB’s to take steps to
protect against re-routing or interception of private (email)
communications, as the interception of private communications is a crime
under section 216B of the Crimes Act. I request, for each DHB, the total
number of incidents involving an allegation that a DHB employee had
engaged in the interception of private email communications between a
patient and a DHB employee, between 1 January 2019 and 29 May 2020, and in
the event there were such incidents reported, the dates of the incidents,
the names of the agencies the incidents were reported to, a description of
the evidence provided to support the allegation of the incident, and the
outcome of the investigation into the incidents (e.g., District or High
Court Case Number, Privacy Commissioner ruling, Ombudsman decision, Human
Rights Tribunal ruling, etc.)."

The Ministry's reference number for your request is: H202003922.

As required under the Official Information Act 1982 we will endeavour to
respond to your request no later than 29 June 2020, being 20 working days
after the day your request was received.  

If we are unable to respond to your request within this time frame, we
will notify you of an extension of that time frame.

If you have any queries related to this request, please do not hesitate to
get in touch.

Dear Amy

Thank you for your Official Information Act request, received by way of

We are working on a response for you, which will be sent as soon as
practical and within the 20 working day timeframe as per the Ombudsman's
Guidance, by 10 July 2020.  We will contact you if we have any queries
with the request or need to extend the timeframe for your response. In
those cases, we will advise why the extension is necessary, and indicate

Please note that, like all DHBs across New Zealand, Counties Manukau DHB

response, (with personal information removed) and related documents on the
CMDHB website. If you advise us of special reasons why proactive
disclosure should not apply to your response, we will consider this. 

 

Kind regards

Dinah

Dear Amy

 

Thank you for your request for official information, which was partially
transferred by the Ministry of Health to Capital & Coast District Health
Board (CCDHB) on 12 June 2020.

 

The following aspects of your request were transferred to CCDHB:

 

4. I request, for each DHB, the total number of incidents involving an
allegation that a member of the public had impersonated a physician,
between 1 May 2019 and 31 August 2019, and in the event there were such
incidents reported, the date of the alleged incident, the names of the
agencies the incidents were reported to, and a description of the evidence
provided to support the allegation of the incident.

 

5. I request, for each DHB, the total number of incidents involving an
allegation that a member of the public had gained unauthorised access to a
surgical theatre or pathology laboratory, between 1 May 2019 and 13 August
2019, and in the event there were such incidents reported, the date of the
alleged incident,  the names of the agencies the incidents were reported
to, and a description of the evidence provided to support the allegation
of the incident.

 

6. I request, for each DHB, the total number of incidents involving an
allegation that a DHB employee had engaged in the interception of private
email communications between a patient and a DHB employee, between 1
January 2019 and 29 May 2020, and in the event there were such incidents
reported, the dates of the incidents, the names of the agencies the
incidents were reported to, a description of the evidence provided to
support the allegation of the incident, and the outcome of the
investigation into the incidents (e.g., District or High Court Case
Number, Privacy Commissioner ruling, Ombudsman decision, Human Rights
Tribunal ruling, etc.).”

 

Your request has been received and logged. As required under the Official
Information Act 1982, we will respond to your request within 20 working
days. You should therefore receive a response on or before 10 July 2020.

 

If a large amount of information has been requested or if CCDHB needs to
consult in order to make a decision, we may need to extend this date (this
is provided for in section 15A of the Act). We will advise you if such an
extension is necessary.

 

Our reference number for your request is: 2020/121.

 

Thank you

The Ministry stands by its decision to transfer your request to the DHBs
for a response. This information is not held by the Ministry and we have
an obligation under the Act to transfer requests that would be better
placed with other agencies for a response.

In response to your email of 17 June 2020, where you have requested the
below:

"Thus, again, I reiterate my request. I respectfully request a list of all
of the "relevant authorities" to which physicians must report "unsafe or
unethical practices", with the understanding that criminal behavior would
be included under either "unsafe or unethical practices".

I also request a copy of all DHB policies in regards to reporting unsafe,
harmful, criminal behavior, including the re-routing and interception of
private communications, and policies on how they document such incidents
and how they are to safeguard against such incidents, as the Operational
Framework does indeed require every DHB to have such policies."

The Ministry is currently working on a response to this. You can expect a
response on or by 15 July 2020.

<[Ministry of Health request email]>,
Date:        23/06/2020 03:21 a.m.
Subject:        Re: Official Information request - Incident reporting by
DHB - standards, requirements, policies

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Ministry of Health,

As a follow up to my last response, I am perplexed and concerned that the
MoH stated in the response dated 16 June 2020:
"There is no best practice for a district health board (DHB) to document
any acts as described in your request. There is also no prescribed list of
agencies that DHBs are required to contact to report unlawful acts."

I am concerned and perplexed that the MoH is unfamiliar with the MoH
website, which states that "critical incidents" must be reported to the
MoH within 24 hours. Critical incidents include "any sudden and/or unusual
event which could: be life threatening for the client or others, be
dangerous, with the client at risk of grave harm, have significant
consequences like the client being involved in criminal activity,
absconding, or requiring emergency services or hospitalization."

I am concerned and perplexed that the MoH is unfamiliar with section 31(5)
of the Health and Disability Services Safety Act 2001, which states:

(5) A person certified to provide health care services of any kind must
promptly give the Director-General written notice of—
(a) any incident or situation (for example, a fire, flood, or failure of
equipment or facilities) that has put at risk, may have put at risk, puts
at risk, or may be putting at risk the health or safety of people for whom
the person was or is providing the services; and
(b) any investigation commenced by a constable into any aspect of the
services, their provision, or any premises in which they were provided;

Clearly, there is at least one best practice and at least one legislative
requirement, contrary to the statement by the MoH that there are none.

Furthermore, my request was for numbers of incidents which were under the
category "critical incidents" as defined by the MoH and are consistent
with an "incident or situation" as defined under section 31 clause 5(a) of
the Health and Disability Services Safety Act 2001. Thus, I fail to
understand why the MoH felt it was necessary to transfer my request to
every DHB when every DHB must report these incidents to the MoH.

Pursuant to the Privacy Act, I request that your response be modified to
include complete and accurate information.

Pursuant to section 23 of the OIA, I request the reasons for transferring
my requests to all DHBs on 12 June 2020 when the MoH is supposed to have
the requested information and for providing inaccurate and incomplete
information in their response on 16 June 2020.

Yours faithfully,

Amy S Van Wey Lovatt

Dear Amy

Thank you for your Official Information Act request, received today by way
of transfer from the Ministry of Health.

 

We are working on a response for you, which will be sent as soon as
practical and within the 20 working day timeframe as per the Ombudsman's
Guidance, by 21 July 2020.  We will contact you if we have any queries
with the request or need to extend the timeframe for your response. In
those cases, we will advise why the extension is necessary, and indicate
when the response will be ready.

 

Please note that, like all DHBs across New Zealand, Counties Manukau DHB
has begun a process of proactive disclosure, which means OIA responses
will be publicly available via our website around 10 days after they have
been released.  Our response will advise if we intend to publish the
response, (with personal information removed) and related documents on the
CMDHB website. If you advise us of special reasons why proactive
disclosure should not apply to your response, we will consider this. 

 

Kind regards

Dinah

Dear Amy

 

Thank you for your Official Information Act request, received as a partial
transfer from the Ministry of Health yesterday.

 

We will provide a formal response to your request as detailed below within
the 20 working days allowed under the Act.

 

I also request a copy of all DHB policies in regards to reporting unsafe,
harmful, criminal behaviour, including the re-routing and interception of
private communications, and policies on how they document such incidents
and how they are to safeguard against such incidents, as the Operational
Framework does indeed require every DHB to have such policies.

 

If for any reason we are unable to meet this deadline and need to extend
the timeframe for your response, we will be in touch to advise why this
has been necessary and to indicate when your response will be ready.

 

Please note that Waitematā DHB supports the open disclosure of information
to assist community understanding of how we are delivering publicly-funded
healthcare. This includes the proactive publication of anonymised Official
Information Act responses on our website from 10 working days after they
have been released.

 

If you feel that there are good reasons why your response should not be
made publicly available, we will be happy to consider this.

 

Kind regards

Dear Amy

 

Thank you for your request for official information, which was partially
transferred from the Ministry of Health to Capital & Coast District Health
Board (CCDHB) on 23 June 2020.

 

The aspect of your request which was transferred is as follows:

 

"I also request a copy of all DHB policies in regards to reporting unsafe,
harmful, criminal behavior, including the re-routing and interception of
private communications, and policies on how they document such incidents
and how they are to safeguard against such incidents, as the Operational
Framework does indeed require every DHB to have such policies."

 

Your request has been received and logged. As required under the Official
Information Act 1982, we will respond to your request within 20 working
days. You should therefore receive a response on or before 21 July 2020.

 

If a large amount of information has been requested or if CCDHB needs to
consult in order to make a decision, we may need to extend this date (this
is provided for in section 15A of the Act). We will advise you if such an
extension is necessary.

 

Our reference number for your request is: 2020/131.

 

Thank you

Dear Amy

 

I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your official information request
dated regarding policies regarding unsafe behaviour. Your OIA request was
transferred to us from the Ministry of Health.

 

We received your request on 23 June 2020. We will endeavour to respond to
your request as soon as possible and in any event no later than 21 July
2020, being 20 working days after the day your request was received. If we
are unable to respond to your request by then, we will notify you of an
extension of that timeframe.

 

If the information requested cannot be made available without substantial
collation, under section 18(f) and section 18A(1)(a) of the Official
Information Act 1982 we may refuse the request or fix a charge under
section 15. If your request falls into this category we will inform you as
soon as possible.

 

Please note that, like all DHBs across New Zealand, Wairarapa DHB has
adopted a model of proactive disclosure which sees OIA responses publicly
available on our website no less than one week after they have been
released.

 

If you believe there are any special reasons why proactive disclosure
should not apply to your response, we will be happy to consider this.

 

Yours sincerely

As per the Ministry's previous emails to you, the Ministry has obligations
under the Act to transfer a request in accordance with section 14 of the
Act when it is more connected with the functions of another agency, who is
subject to the Act.

In this instance, your request was transferred to all district health
boards (DHBs) as the information requested is more aligned with the
functions of the DHBs. The Ministry stands by its decision to transfer
parts 4 to 6 of your request to the DHBs.

If you are unsatisfied with the Ministry's response, you may wish to
approach the Ombudsman.

This request is now deemed closed.

Subject:        Urgent Request _ OIA Request OverDue

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Dr Ashley Bloomfield, 
,
RE: Overdue and inappropriately handled OIA request for "critical
incident" information

I am writing to you because your Office is the legislated
mandatory reporting agency for "critical incidents" for NZ DHBs, pursuant
to section 31 of the Health and Disability Services (Safety) Act 2001.

Urgent Request: I respectfully request that the information in requests
4-6 be provided within 48 hours, through the [1]FYI.org.nz portal. This
information is essential for decision making by other authorities:
Ombudsman, Privacy Commissioner, Police and Health and Disability
Commissioner. 
 
History:
On 29 May 2020, I submitted an OIA request regarding reporting of
"critical incidents" as defined on the MoH website.

The initial response I received from the MoH stated there are no agencies
in which "critical incidents" must be reported. You may read the response
here: [2]https://fyi.org.nz/request/12922/respons...

You can imagine that I find this quite disturbing given the MoH is one of
the required reporting agencies, as determined by Parliament.

The MoH then referred my request to every DHB, despite the fact that
transfer of requests may only be done if the authority does not have the
information. Given the MoH is a mandatory reporting agency, the MoH may
not invoke section 14 of the OIA for this information.

I would rather not take this matter to the Ombudsman.the information I
have requested in  Requests 4-6 ought to be readily available to someone
in your office (or within the MoH), thus I respectfully request that you
personally ensure that this information is provided within 48 hours, via
the [3]FYI.org.nz website.

Kindest regards,

Amy  S Van Wey Lovatt, PhD

Dear Amy S Van Wey Lovatt

As stated in our responses: Both CCDHB and HVDHB do not have a record of any incidences relating to the above questions during the dates stipulated, i.e. the information requested does not exist.

Kind regards

Subject: Re: Official Information Act H20_21-79 request

Dear Robyn Fitzgerald [CCDHB],

I was very confused by your response to my OIA request which was transferred to you by the Ministry of Health.

You denied my request on the grounds that the information does not exist and the two DHB's you responded for did not hold the information. I find this confusing.

Does the information not exist because there have been no incidents?

Does the information not exist because the DHB's do not maintain the records, as required under section 27 of the Public Records Act 2005?

Does the information exist, but it is being held by another agency?

In the even that the information does exist, but it is held by another agency, then I respectfully request the name of the agency which holds the information (NZ Police, MoH, etc.), as all of these are incidents which must be reported to the Director-General, pursuant to section 31 of the Health and Disability Services (Safety) Act 2001.

I ask that you please clarify for the different DHB's in which you have submitted a response.

Thank you very much for taking the time to clarify your response. I look forward to receiving the policies which inform your decision making regarding the reporting and documenting of such incidents, which the MoH had transferred to your DHBs.

Kindest regards,
Amy
