I am responding on behalf of Taranaki District Health Board (DHB) to your OIA
request of 10 September 2021:
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.
The Datix regional Incident, Quality & Risk System was not impacted as a result of, or during,
the Waikato Security Incident. Furthermore, Taranaki DHB confirm that there are no reports or
extracts from Datix automatically being sent to the Health Quality & Safety Commission.
I hope this information answers your request.
Yours sincerely
Amber Erueti
Chief Information Officer
