Dear Hutt District Health Board,

I would be grateful if you could provide me with the following information:

1. What was the HDHB funding to Wellington Free Ambulance Group (Wellington Free Ambulance Service Inc, Wellington Free Ambulance Trust, WFA Alarms Ltd, CECL) for the years (y/e) 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 (if possible).

2. Was this funding to Wellington Free Ambulance paid in bulk funding, contract or was a portion paid for special projects? If there were special projects, what was each of the special projects and what was the funding for these for each of the seven years stated above?

3. How and when is the funding from HDHB paid to Wellington Free Ambulance Group (monthly, 6-monthly, yearly etc). Is HDHB funding a prepayment of an accrual?

Yours faithfully
Ian Walford
