National data for publicly funded bariatric surgical
Kellye made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Kellye to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Kellye
Dear Ministry of Health,
I am requesting the official data for publicly funded bariatric surgery for the past 5yrs and the data that suggests that remission of type 2 diabetes has been successful. How many of these patients have now had additional diabetes treatment.
Why was it confirmed by health nz that publicly funded bariatric surgery would only be given to those with diabetes.
I am a long suffering obese person whom has severe limitations due to severe arthritis which would be drastically reduced by surgery and I could enjoy my 8 children. However declined 4 times now I don't drink smoke or eat unhealthy I have tried every possible weightloss why does ministry of health not see the real endemic issues
Why is prevention of diabetes not a priority with the endemic obesity problems in New Zealand Why are we lagging behind in treatment against Australia UK and USA
I look forward to receiving the required information
Yours faithfully,
Kellye foster
