From: Amy S Van Wey Lovatt (Account suspended)
Dear Lakes District Health Board,
I am writing to request information regarding the extent to which the Datix Midland Integrated Quality and Risk system (used for reporting complaints and incidents) was compromised by the cyber attack at Waikato DHB.
I note that Lakes District Health Board, Taranaki DHB, Bay of Plenty DHB and Tairawhiti District Health Boards all use the same was Datix Midland Integrated Quality and Risk system as Waikato DHB, and some of these reports, when entered, are automatically sent to the Health Quality & Safety Commission.
Thank you,
Amy S Van Wey Lovatt

Hi Amy
Here are the answers to your extra questions following our OIA response.
Q: Please clarify as to whether the incident reports submitted into the
regional Datix system (all 5 hospitals) are shared on the same server,
which is also shared with the Health Quality & Safety Commissioner?
A: Te Manawa Taki DHBs have their own shared instance of Datix.
Q: Where is the server located? If there is more than one server which
holds the regional Datix system reports, where are these servers located?
A: For security reasons, we will not be commenting on our computer systems
at this time.
Q: If any of the information from the regional Datix system was leaked
from the cyber-attack at Waikato DHB.
A: The Datix regional Incident, Quality & Risk system was not impacted as
a result of, or during, the Waikato Security Incident.

Dear Shan Tapsell,
It appears that you have copied your responses from Te Manawa Taki District Health Board dated 8 October 2021, or your agency and Te Manawa Taki District Health Board, have been provided the same cookie cutter response from some other agency.
I am writing for clarification because the response I received dated 14 October 2021 was not clear.
My Question 1: Please clarify as to whether the incident reports submitted into the regional Datix system (all 5 hospitals) are shared on the same server, which is also shared with the Health Quality & Safety Commissioner?
Your Response: Te Manawa Taki DHBs have their own shared instance of Datix.
I request for clarification. Are all reports in the regional Datix system located on one server, or multiple servers? Are all reports entered by members of your DHB held locally, on your DHBs servers, or are they also located on servers located at other DHBs and the Health Quality and Safety Commissioner? If there are also located at other DHBs, are they located at Waikato DHB?
My Question 2: Where is the server located? If there is more than one server which holds the regional Datix system reports, where are these servers located?
Your Response: For security reasons, we will not be commenting on our computer systems
at this time.
I request the legal reason, as set out in the OIA for refusing me this information. I do not require the specific building within the location, only the general physical location, such as your specific DHB, another DHB, within the MoH in Wellington, or some held by some other third party, such as those providing cloud archive support. Please provide me with copies of all contracts with suppliers who provide server (physical and cloud service) support for your DHB.
You have stated, "The Datix regional Incident, Quality & Risk system was not impacted as
a result of, or during, the Waikato Security Incident." I request a copy of the official investigative report which supports your assertion.
Yours sincerely,
Yours sincerely,
Amy S Van Wey Lovatt
