Auckland DHB COVID-19 home isolation performance
Harold made this Official Information request to Auckland District Health Board
The request was successful.
From: Harold
Dear Auckland District Health Board,
I would like to make a request relating to Auckland District Health Board’s performance in providing care to COVID-19 cases in community isolation.
The Ministry of Health guideline “Managing COVID-19 in the community” published on the Ministry website earlier this month states that it is one of the responsibilities of district health boards providing care for COVID-19 cases in community isolation to ensure “adequate daily reporting on risk and performance” is submitted to the Ministry of Health.
I request copies of all such daily reporting produced by Auckland District Health Board, dated since the beginning of this month.
Yours faithfully,
Harold

Dear Harold
Re: Official Information Request – Auckland DHB COVID-19 home isolation performance
I am writing to acknowledge your official information request dated 22 November 2021.
We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible and, in any event, no later than 20 December 2021. We will contact you if an extension is required.
“Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic response, Auckland DHB continues to experience significantly higher volumes of requests for information. Many key Auckland DHB and Auckland Regional Public Health Service staff are currently committed to tasks associated with the current COVID-19 outbreak. This will invariably impact on our ability to respond to certain OIA requests within normal timeframes.
If you have any questions about management of OIA during the COVID pandemic you may find it helpful to read the following from the Office of the Ombudsman https://smex12-5-en-ctp.trendmicro.com:4...
Please note that, like other DHBs across New Zealand, Auckland DHB has adopted a model of proactive disclosure which sees OIA responses publically available on our website approximately one month after they have been released. If you believe that there are any special reasons why proactive disclosure should not apply to our response to you, we will be happy to consider this.
Kind regards
Priscilla

Dear Mark Fenwick,
Thank you for your response to my initial request.
I would like to make a follow up request, for information relating to the NRHCC Whānau HQ/COVID-19 Care in the Community programme.
ONE: For the CIQ Clinical Governance Group I would like to request:
1) A copy of the group’s terms of reference
2) Copies of the minutes of all meetings since the group's formation
3) Copies of all reports, advice or memos produced by this group since its formation
TWO: According to the Ministry of Health COVID-19 Care in the Community Framework:
“As a part of preparing for COVID-19 Care in the Community, the local system should be assessed to determine its capacity in terms of the number of people and whānau that can be supported and have plans in place to scale up the response, should this be required.”
I request copies of all such capacity assessments and scale-up plans produced by NRHCC.
THREE: I request the number of COVID-19 Care in the Community adverse event reviews completed by NRHCC (as per Appendix D of the Ministry framework), broken down by the Severity Assessment Code rating of the event.
Yours sincerely,
Harold

Kia ora Harold
Could we have a conversation about Question 3 in your OIA of 17 January
regarding the CIQ Clinical Governance Group?
The scope of this is large the group and its support staff advise me that
they may have to estimate just how substantive a collation task it is
before proceeding any further. Are you prepared to fund the cost of
collation or would it be better to narrow the scope and focus on reports
and remove or the advice and memos part of this somewhat?
Happy for your to phone me or give me a number I can phone you on.
Ngā mihi,
Mark

Kia ora Mark,
Thanks for following up. I'm fine with narrowing the CIQ Clinical Governance Group part of my request to be for reports only as you've suggested, and remove the request for advice and memos. So the refined version of this part of my request would be:
"For the CIQ Clinical Governance Group I would like to request:
1) A copy of the group’s terms of reference
2) Copies of the minutes of all meetings since the group's formation
3) Copies of all reports produced by this group since its formation"
Let me know if this works.
Yours sincerely,
Harold
