Thank you for your request for official information, received on 30 March
for: 

“1) How many cath labs are there in New Zealand in total (Public and
Private)?
2) How many stents are being used for cardiac surgery per year in New
Zealand in total (In public and private)?”

In order to provide you with the information requested, could you please
clarify the second part of your request:

Is the request for stents used in cardiac surgery alone, or all stents
including structural heart procedures such as TAVI and angioplasties as
well?
The request is how many stents are used per year, what time frame is the
request for?

Please note, under section 15 of the Official Information Act 1982, any
clarification or amendments made to a request within seven days after the
date it is received, that request may be treated as a new request and the
time limit for the response restarts. 
 
Can you please respond by Friday 24 April so we can consider your
clarification in our response. 

We look forward to receiving your response. 

Ngâ mihi

Tēnā koe Pariket

Thank you for your email of 24 April 2023, confirming the following
information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):

 "2) How many stents are being used for cardiac surgery per year in New
Zealand in total (In public and private)?”

 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 31 May 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.

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.
