Covid-19 treatment protocol

Michael Vaughan made this Official Information request to Waitemata District Health Board

The request was successful.

From: Michael Vaughan

Dear Waitemata District Health Board,

1) What is the Covid-19 treatment protocol for hospitalised cases?
2) Are some DHB's following different treatment protocols from others?
3) Are DHB's free to make decisions about treatments for individuals with
Covid-19?
4) To what extent are patients able to participate in decision-making
about their treatment programmes?
5) If a patient requests a blood test for Vitamin D and/or the
administration of high dosage Vitamin C, are hospital staff able to
provide these?
6) Do hospital staff have the right to refuse a patient's request and, if
so, is there a process for a patient to appeal the decision?

Yours faithfully,

Michael Vaughan

Dear Michael

 

Thank you for your OIA request, received yesterday.

 

While we will endeavour to provide a response to you within the 20 working
days allowed under the Act, it should be noted that Waitematâ DHB’s
clinicians, managers and staff are concentrating on measures to manage the
current COVID-19 Delta outbreak in the region.

 

Therefore, we have limited capacity to respond to some OIA requests. If
for any reason we are unable to meet the deadline and need to extend the
timeframe for your response, we will be in touch to advise why this has
been necessary and to indicate when your response will be ready.

 

Please note that Waitematâ DHB supports the open disclosure of information
to assist community understanding of how we are delivering publicly-funded
healthcare. This includes the proactive publication of anonymised Official
Information Act responses on our website from 10 working days after they
have been released.

 

If you feel that there are good reasons why your response should not be
made publicly available, we will be happy to consider this.

 

Regards

Anna
