Good morning James

I note the last question refers to all districts. Can you please clarify
your request further.

Te Pae Hauora o Ruahine o Tararua | MidCentral can provide the
information for Palmerston North Hospital. If you want the information for
all districts, it will take a long time to respond as the information is
not centrally held.

Regards

Zelda

This is an Official Information request made via the FYI website.
Dear Health New Zealand/Palmerston North Hospital,

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to make a request under the
New Zealand Official Information Act 1982.

I have been informed that the RMO (Resident Medical Officer) offices at
Palmerston North Hospital have been directly contacting certain House
Officers to offer them night shifts, rather than advertising these
opportunities openly to all eligible candidates. I would like to request
information regarding the process and criteria used to allocate night
shifts for House Officers at your hospital, as well as the processes
followed by other hospitals in New Zealand.

In particular, I am interested in understanding the following:

1. Is there a specific policy or guideline in place for the allocation of
night shifts for House Officers at Palmerston North Hospital?
2. If so, could you please provide a copy of this policy or guideline?
3. How are House Officers made aware of the available night shifts and the
process for applying or expressing interest?
4.What factors or criteria are considered when selecting House Officers
for night shifts?
5. Is there a process in place to ensure that night shift opportunities
are equitably distributed among House Officers, in accordance with the
NZRDA (New Zealand Resident Doctors' Association) MECA (Multi-Employer
Collective Agreement) and New Zealand employment laws?
6. Could you also provide information on the general process for
allocating night shifts to House Officers at other hospitals in New
Zealand, if available?

I understand that under the Official Information Act 1982, I should
receive a response to this request within 20 working days. If you need any
clarification or further information to process this request, please do
not hesitate to contact me via fyi.org.nz.

I appreciate your assistance in providing the requested information and
look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards,
James Thompson
