HealhtCare NZ Limited Funding

NZ Health Justice made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health

The request was successful.

From: NZ Health Justice

Dear Ministry of Health,

We request the following information:

1. The dollar amount that HealthCare NZ receives in bulk-funding from District Health Boards by contract.
2. Confirmation that under these bulk-funding arrangements, HealthCare NZ is not required to payback money for undelivered services.
3. The number of times that HealthCare NZ did not provide care to DHB clients over 65 in June 2021 because there was no support worker assigned to them. We believe HealthCare NZ holds this information and it should be disclosed under the Official Information Act.

Yours faithfully,

NZ Health Justice

Dear Ministry of Health,

Please acknowledge receipt of this OIA request. We also seek an update on the request transferred to you by Hawke's Bay DHB on 15 June, which is now overdue. Although we are happy to receive a response to the 15 June request concurrently with this request, we remind you of your obligations under the Official Information Act.

Yours faithfully,

NZ Health Justice

From: NZ Health Justice

Dear Ministry of Health,

We seek clarification of your decision to transfer this request to the Bay of Plenty DHB. Our request concerned information regarding all DHBs from which HealthCare NZ Limited receives bulk-funding to provide home support services to over-65s based on restorative care. It seems unlikely that Bay of Plenty DHB would hold this information for all DHBs. Can you please clarify if this is in fact the case and provide an explanation? We also request a copy of the advice you refer to.

Yours sincerely,

NZ Health Justice

The Ministry of Health does not hold this information and transferred your request to BOP DHB as they are a partner in the BOP Community Health Alliance which offers support across the BOP region. Further information is available at: https://www.healthcarenz.co.nz/about-us/. Alternatively, you may wish to direct your request to all DHBs in order to get this information.

If you are unsatisfied with the Ministry's decision to transfer your request, you may wish to approach the Ombudsman.
