Waikato Hospital memo supporting documents

Miss W. Forest made this Official Information request to Health New Zealand

The request was refused by Health New Zealand.

From: Miss W. Forest

Dear Health New Zealand,

Waikato hospital circulated on a memo dated 11 October 2024 with subject "English in a clinical setting"

The memo made a claim that "in the clinical setting, English [sic] language both spoken and written, supports clinical safety and, as such, the expectation is this will be adhered to."

My Official Information Act request is to obtain the supporting documents the decision makers - Sue Hayward (Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer) and David Bunting (Director Quality and Patient Safety) - used to create a new policy in the clinical setting.

I believe the supporting documents should include Human Rights Act assessment they - the decision makers - would have done to effect this policy.

Yours faithfully,

Miss W. Forest

Dear Health New Zealand / OIA

Re: Waikato Hospital memo supporting documents
Re: https://fyi.org.nz/request/28761-waikato...

This reply is not what I was after.

I was not looking after the spin what happened on and after my OIA and not the media spin afterwards.

Please supply the documents I originally asked.

Supporting documents are the documents that made the decisionmakers make such policy even if it was later overturned regardless.

Yours sincerely,

Miss W. Forest
