Requesting the full medical records of my deseased father

Jessica O'Donnell made this Official Information request to Health New Zealand

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

From: Jessica O'Donnell

Dear Health New Zealand,
I'd like to please request my deseased father's (Brian Close) full medical history please. As there is only myself, my sister and my 16 year old son that share his DNA. There is a history of heart disease and cancer throughout the wider family.

Yours faithfully,

Jessica O'Donnell
