Tēnā koe Tania

 

Thank you for your email of 30 November 2022, asking for the following
information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):

"Please advise:
The ages of all people who received the following surgeries (for the
purposes of sex reassignment) since January 2018 to date (18 November
2022). Please include dates.
Orchidectomy
Phalloplasty
Bilateral mastectomy
Vaginaplasty
Hysterectomy
Feminising breast augmentation
Masculinising chest reconstruction
Salpingo-oophorectomy"
 

This email is to let you know that Te Whatu Ora needs more time to make a
decision on your request.

The 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 to make our
decision, to 27 January 2023.

This extension is required because the consultations necessary to make a
decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably
be made within the original time limit. Please be assured that Te Whatu
Ora is actively working on your request and will aim to respond as soon as
possible.

If you have any questions, please contact us at [1][email address]

If you are not happy with this extension, you have the right to make a
complaint to the Ombudsman. Information about how to do this is available
at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by phoning 0800 802 602.
