Dear Paul
Thank you for your Official Information Act request, received below.

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 23 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.

Kind regards
Dinah

Executive Assistant to Margie Apa - Chief Executive Officer

Hi Paul,

We will not be able to provide any data on people visiting doctor's surgeries within the CMDHB area. This is within the primary care arena and we do not hold data for this type of information. We can however provide data on any hospital visits.

For the heart related issues its very broad and we can give data looking for all Diseases of the Circulatory system (Minus Benign Hypertension as it is so common).

Will this work for you?

Kind regards,

Micaela
