Tēnā koe Laura
 
I am writing in regards to your request asking for the following
information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):
 
1. The full score / model for waitlist prioritisation assessment,
including the calculation or model in the EAS.

2. The outcomes measured to determine the weightings applied to each of
the 5 factors of the EAS score e.g. life expectancy, readmissions, length
of stay etc. by factor. 

3. The date of the next scheduled review of the outcomes and weightings of
the model to determine that the score remains fit for purpose and the
weightings are adjusted.
 
4. The peer review process document, committee meeting minutes and/or
independent review process document that signed off the new model.

5. Any confirmation of a model ethics sign off or approval to prioritise
health treatment outside of clinical need.
 
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 27 September 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][Health New Zealand request email]
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 [2]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by phoning 0800 802 602.
