Waikato Hospital memo supporting documents
Miss W. Forest made this Official Information request to Health New Zealand
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Miss W. Forest to read a recent response and update the status.
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
