Author of Waikato memo CV
Miss W. Forest made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health
The request was refused by Ministry of Health.
From: Miss W. Forest
Dear Ministry of Health,
Please provide the CV and Cover Letter of David Bunting who was involved in authoring the Waikato memo on "English language only" as the Director of Quality and Patient Safety.
The CV and Cover letter should exist when David Bunting sought employment from Waikato District Health Board and especially as to the clinical qualifications and making policy decisions pertaining to patient safety.
I note that the memo is already widely published, the public has the right to know who makes and how these decisions are made affecting the public at large and what reasons were used to justify such decisions.
Yours faithfully,
Miss W. Forest
