Designated Doctor referrals

Dale Smith made this Official Information request to Ministry of Social Development

The request was refused by Ministry of Social Development.

From: Dale Smith

Dear Ministry of Social Development,

I would kindly like to request in percentage form the amount of Supported Living Payment applications that have required a Designated Doctor report that have either gone on to be approved (and subsequently the percentage of declined applications).

I appreciate this may require a lot of collating if the information isn't already held. I would like a starting point of quarterly for the last 7 years (from when Supported Living Payment replaced Invalids Benefit) however am open to a shorter time period in the interests of timeliness.

Yours faithfully,

Dale Smith
