It has come to my attention that the Whanganui District Health Board link on the FYI website was incorrect and OIA requests have not been forwarded to our OIA administrator (currently me) for actioning.

This includes your request dated 4 December 2013..

I apologise that this issue was not picked up until. The problem has been fixed.

Can you please advise if you would like to reinstate your OIA request.

Regards
Anne Phoenix
