* What are the Guidelines/procedures for patients repeatedly admitted to
Emergency Department with severe epigastric pain/ and upper right and
left quadrant pain
* What are the official Guidelines/procedures for urgent X-rays (24

This is an acknowledgement email from Hawke’s Bay DHB that the transfer
request has been received and your OIA with our DHB has given the
Ref:OIA2021179.
 
Under the Official Information Act 1982, we have 20 working days from

Hello Andrew,

 

Thank you for your OIA request, received today as a transfer from the
Ministry of Health.

 

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.

 

Please be aware that the OIA system is on-hold nationally between COB 24
December 2021 and 17 January 2022.

 

 

 

 

Kind regards,

Dear Andrew

Thank you for your Official Information Act requests, received today by
way of transfer from the Ministry of Health.

 

We are working on a response for you, which will be sent as soon as
practical and within the 20 working day timeframe as per the Ombudsman's
Guidance, by 14 February 2022.  We will contact you if we have any queries
with the request or need to extend the timeframe for your response. In
those cases, we will advise why the extension is necessary, and indicate
when the response will be ready.

 

Please note that, like all DHBs across New Zealand, Counties Manukau DHB
has begun a process of proactive disclosure, which means OIA responses
will be publicly available via our website around 10 days after they have
been released.  Our response will advise if we intend to publish the
response, (with personal information removed) and related documents on the
CMDHB website. If you advise us of special reasons why proactive
disclosure should not apply to your response, we will consider this.

2.       Guidelines/procedures for urgent X-rays (24 hour)

3.       Guidelines/procedures for patients repeatedly admitted to

I am writing to acknowledge your official information request dated 24
November 2021 to the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the transfer from the
MoH to Auckland DHB on 22 December 2021.

 

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible and, in
any event, no later than 10 February 2022.  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. 

 

Please be advised that due dates for requests received from 29 November
2021 onwards take into account the following periods:

Christmas (25 December 2021)

Summer Holidays (25 December to 15 January)

New Year's Day (1 January 2022)

Day after News Year's Day (2 January 2022)

 

If you'd like to calculate the due date for your request, you can use the
Ombudsman's online calculator here: [1]http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/

 

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
[2]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.

Dear Andrew

 

Re: Official Information Act request – Various treatment protocols

 

We refer to your official information request received by Nelson
Marlborough DHB on 22 December 2021.

 

The Official Information Act requires that we advise you of our decision
on your request no later than 20 working days after the day we received
your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time
limit and we are therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the
time of an additional 20 working days to make our decision, to 10 March
2022.

 

This extension is necessary because, and as specified under Section
15A(1)(b) of the Official Information Act 1982, internal ‘consultations
necessary to make a decision on the request are such that a proper
response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit’.

 

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as reasonably
practicable.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation by the Ombudsman of this
decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or free phone 0800 802 602.
