Subject: Official Information request - Hiring back of unvaccinated staff
in the health sector

Dear Ministry of Health,

A response to an official information act request revealed there 357
nurses, 26 doctors and 64 midwives who left as a result of the New Zealand
government’s vaccination order up to March 2022 . More left after
requirements for boosters.

Given the vaccination orders were repealed in Sept of 2022.
Since Sept 2022,  how many of these health professionals have you hired
back? Please would you provide this data by dhb.

How many vacancies do you currently have for each dhb?

Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome

Tçnâ koe Eric

I refer to your request which was transferred to Te Whatu Ora on 4
September 2023, asking for the following which has been considered under
the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):

A response to an official information act request revealed there 357
nurses, 26 doctors and 64 midwives who left as a result of the New Zealand
government’s vaccination order up to March 2022 . More left after
requirements for boosters.
[1]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

Given the vaccination orders were repealed in Sept of 2022.
Since Sept 2022,  how many of these health professionals have you hired
back? Please would you provide this data by dhb.

How many vacancies do you currently have for each dhb?

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 October 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 [2][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.
