Fairyway resolution service for medical injury claims

Erika Whittome made this Official Information request to Accident Compensation Corporation

The request was successful.

From: Erika Whittome

Dear Accident Compensation Corporation,
I understand a person may lodge a claim with ACC when there is a medical misadventure.
These claims can go to Fairway resolution service and I cite section 2(5) of the Official Information Act when making my request.

(Public Finance (Fairway Resolution Limited) Order 2017.
Former name: Dispute Resolution Services Limited.)

My OIA request is to Fairway Resolution.

When reviewing claims for an adverse event from a medicine, would you kindly share details on this claim process.

1. Does Fairway review the reports from the product' manufacturer on the product's adverse events/effects?
2. In the case of a provisionally approved medicine (eg Fluvax,Comirnaty) , does Fairway review the Periodic Safety Update reports from the manufacture? For example, this is a periodic safety report from Pfizer on Comirnaty https://tkp.at/wp-content/uploads/2023/0...
3. Does Fairway review the post marketing report published by Pfizer in the case of Comirnaty for claims of adverse events for this provisionally approved medicine? Ie this document https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/202...

Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome
