Subject: (AVOIA2023-48)Official Information request - Full Medical records
for my deseased father from Taupo hospital.

 

Dear Ayesha Verrall,

I would like full disclosure from all hospitals on my father's medical
history. Auckland hospital. Most DEFINATELY would like ALL notes/records
of when he was admitted to Taupo hospital in December 2021. Why they
discharged him given his history. Also why an inquest has not happened.
The law states if someone dies within  x amount of days after being
discharged their will be an investigation. Bilateral pulmonary is that of
a few outcomes. One being adverse reaction to medication. I want answers
and I won't be ignored any longer or swept under the carpet like it isn't
medical misconduct which he never made headlines of man that died alone
when he was taken on a 45 minute drive to taupo from turangi by ambulance.
He was discharged in an unformiliar place, had to walk, no phone, not
feeling good charged $200 for a motel room that took him close to an hour
and a half-2 hours to find , waited for motel staff, paid, showered and
died all before he could get in the bed. Why was he not offer  ed
transport back, that is their thing that they claim to do. And motel
cover. I am the oldest of his 2 daughters, and the mother to his only
grandchild, my 16yr old son. We want answers, an inquest. Full
transparency. And the lakes district to take accountability. I am a single
mother on a benefit. I had to borrow a thousand dollars to bring my father
back to Auckland. My house recently flooded and I have to live in further
hardship to pay yet more debts to refurnish a home again. Things I lost of
my dad's as simple as an old t-shirt or an old paint brush. I'm done with
being left in the dark. Please respond as this is my second request. I'm
done being made to wait for my father's actual last hours.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Jessica O'Donnell
