Correspondence to physicians in respect of the Essure permanent IUD
Catrina McGregor made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health
Response to this request is long overdue. By law Ministry of Health should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.
From: Catrina McGregor
Dear Ministry of Health,
Other than a recall notice being placed on the MedSafe website, did the Ministry of Health or MedSafe notify physicians or gynaecologists of the recall of the Essure permanent contraceptive implant recall in 2017? If so, when and how did this take place?
Other than a recall notice being placed on the MedSafe website, did the Ministry of Health or MedSafe notify physicians that Essure recipients were required to be monitored? If so, when and how?
Would Ministry of Health please produce dated copies of the letters, emails or templates sent by MedSafe to notify physicians of the Essure device recall, and the requirement to monitor implant recipients?
Yours faithfully,
Catrina McGregor
