Re:
Official Information Act
I am responding on behalf of Taranaki District Health Board (DHB) to your OIA request of 24 November 2021
which was transferred to Taranaki DHB on 30 November 2021. You have requested the following information:
The percentage of patients that have been declined referrals from multiple internal and external requests for
gastro-intestinal department.
•
Multiple being more than 3 separate GP/Doctor referrals.
•
Time frame from 1 January 2010 through to 1 November 2021.
Taranaki DHB can confirm that no patients referred to the gastro-intestinal department have been declined
for three or more referrals.
I trust the above information answers your OIA request.
Kind regards
Gillian Campbell
Chief Operating Officer
