Third-party sources for medical information
Tobias Ellison made this Official Information request to Bay of Plenty District Health Board
The request was partially successful.
From: Tobias Ellison
Patients are being advised by BOPDHB that they cannot access information in their medical histories from third-party sources. This doesn't align well with the Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers' Rights. Who are these third-party sources and how much has been paid to them?
Best regards,
Tobias Ellison
From: Diana Marriott
Bay of Plenty District Health Board
