il: [FYI request #15561 email] Dear Health Justice
YOUR OFFICIAL INFORMATION ACT (1982) REQUEST HBDHB REF: OIA2021095
I
refer to your Official Information Act request ref: H202108929 transferred by the Ministry of Health on 12
August 2021. Your questions and Hawke’s Bay DHBs response is provided below:
“We also seek clarification as to how much funding, if any, HealthCare NZ Limited receives from Hawke's
DHB for missed care.”
Hawke’s Bay DHB uses a bulk funding methodology for its Home Based Support Services; the cost model
calculation does not include funding missed visits. For the remaining contracts Hawke’s Bay DHB uses a fee
for service model and missed visits are not funded.
I trust this information meets your needs. If you would like any further information or clarification please
phone me. If you are not satisfied with this response you may contact the Office of the Ombudsman,
phone 0800 802 602.
Please note that this response, or an edited version of this response, may be published on the Hawke’s Bay
DHB website after your receipt of this response.
Yours sincerely
Emma Foster
Executive Director – Planning, Funding & Performance
