Re:
Official Information Act
I am responding on behalf of Taranaki District Health Board (DHB) to your OIA request of 22 October 2020.
You have requested the following information:
Could you please provide me with the eligibility criteria for public funded jaw surgery for Temporomandibular
joint disorder for a woman in her 20s.
Taranaki DHB can perform up to four of these surgeries per year under special hospital approval and patient
criteria.
I trust the above information answers your OIA request.
Yours sincerely
Gillian Campbell
Chief Operating Officer
