Tçnâ koe Roger,

 

Thank you for your email of 8 December 2024, asking for the following
information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):

 

“1. Retention Rates:
Please provide annual retention rates over the past five years for the
following groups:
a. House Officers (PGY1 and PGY2)
b. Registrars
c. Nurses (including breakdown by specialty if available)
d. Allied Health Professionals

2. Wellbeing and Burnout Resources:
What resources, programs, or initiatives does Te Whatu Ora currently
provide to address burnout, mental health, and overall wellbeing for the
above workforce categories?
What percentage of the workforce has accessed these resources annually
over the past five years?

3. Workforce Morale and NZ Pulse Survey:
Please share the most recent results of the NZ Pulse Survey (or similar
morale assessment tools) as they pertain to the above workforce groups.
Provide any analysis, reports, or conclusions drawn from these results
regarding trends in morale and wellbeing.

4. Wellbeing Strategy:
Does Te Whatu Ora have a formal strategy or plan for improving workforce
wellbeing and addressing burnout? If so, please provide a copy.
What funding has been allocated for these efforts over the past three
years?"

 

This email is to let you know that Health NZ needs more time to make a
decision on your request.

 

The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no
later than 20 working days after the day we received your request.
Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are
therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our
decision, to 19 February 2025.

 

This extension is required due to the collation of a large quantity of
information, and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably
interfere with our operations, in accordance with section 15A(1)(a) of the
Act. 

 

If you have any questions, please contact us
at [1][email address]

 

If you are not happy with this extension, you have the right to make a
complaint to the Ombudsman. Information about how to do this is available
at [2]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by phoning 0800 802 602.
