Cody C made this Official Information request to Canterbury District Health Board
The request was successful.
From: Cody C
Dear Canterbury District Health Board,
Do you provide financial support to Pegasus 24 Hour Surgery to reduce the cost of home visits? If so, why is a similar level of support not provided to AfterhoursGP?
Yours faithfully,
Cody C

Dear Kathleen Smitheram,
I’m afraid you have not read my question correctly.
My question was if CDHB provides funding to *reduce* the cost of home visits. You have answered that CDHB does not provide funding for *free* home visits. These two things are not equivalent. Can you please re-check?
Yours sincerely,
Cody C
