The number of heart issue related visits to hospital or surgeries

Paul Blackham made this Official Information request to Canterbury District Health Board

Response to this request is long overdue. By law Canterbury District Health Board should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.

From: Paul Blackham

Dear Canterbury District Health Board,

I am seeking the number of people that have visited any/all hospitals and
doctor's surgeries within the CDHB for any/all heart related issues,
(including but not limited to pericarditis, myocarditis, heart attacks and
strokes). The data requested is for the 11 month period from February 2021
until December 2021 inclusive, displayed in month by month format, and
compared to the monthly data for the previous three years.

Yours faithfully,

Paul Blackham
