[FYI request #29819 email]
Dear D. Reddington
Thank you for your Official Information Act request received on 20 January 2025. You requested:
‘Please provide a copy of all information relating to investigations, whether withdrawn or
completed into security officers in hospitals since 2020. Please include all relevant information
into the response, including documentation such as initial complaints.’
Following a thorough search of our records, WorkSafe New Zealand has not investigated any
incidents relating to security officers in hospitals since 2020. Accordingly, I have refused your
request for the information above under section 18(e) of the Official Information Act as the
information doesn’t exist.
This reply addresses the information you requested. You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to
investigate and review my decision, and further information is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
If you require further assistance, please contact
[email address].
Yours sincerely
Kelly Hanson-White
Deputy Chief Executive, Strategy and Insights
