Table One – Wait times for dentists, medical officers, and nurses at Rolleston Prison, Otago
Corrections Facility, Rimutaka Prison and Mt Eden Corrections Facility.
Notes for table:
• This table provides data relates to waiting times at the end of first quarter of 2024
(31 March 2024), this being the most recent available quarterly reporting period.
• These figures are accurate as at 28 May 2024 but may be subject to change following
further quality assurance processes.
• This data includes the average, median and maximum wait time from a logged
appointment request to a recorded interaction with a dentist, medical officer (GP) or
nurse following a Health Request Form (HRF). It may not take into account interim
advice prisoners may receive prior to their appointment under some circumstances.
• Due to differences in prison populations sizes and demographics, figures are not
directly comparable between prisons. For example, Mt Eden Corrections Facility is
primarily a remand facility, with a higher proportion of short-term stays.
