Dear Amber
Re: OIA request - Expected clinical working hours for paediatrics and general medicine
I refer to your official information request dated 14 March for information about expected
clinical working hours for paediatrics and general medicine.
We have transferred parts 1, 5, 5a, 5b and 5d of your request to the University of Auckland as
follows (please note, 5c is not being transferred):
1. What is the list if senior medical officers designated to be clinical supervisors for
medical students from the university if Auckland (i.e. who are the SMOs who can sign
CSRs).
With regards to trainee interns:
5. how many hours per week are trainee interns expected to be on placement in runs
above?
5a. as they are not paid, what protections are ensured trainee interns have proper rest
and food breaks?
5b. how many days in a row are trainee interns expected to be on placement
5d. how does dhb manage the expectations for trainee interns to be present with their
health and wellbeing in a demanding field
The information to which your request relates is not held by us but is believed to be more
closely connected with the functions of the University of Auckland. In these circumstances, we
are required by section 14 of the Official Information Act to transfer your request.
You will hear further from the University of Auckland concerning your request.
Yours sincerely
