Dear  Ms Stevens

Thank you for your request for official information, received by the
Ministry of Health on 20 August 2015, requesting:

I would like a list of the the longest serving patients in the acute
psychiatric wards (9B and 9A) of Wakaki Hospital Dunedin in the last five
years. I want  patients who have had multiple, chronic admissions over the
last five years and patients who have not been released at all.  

Your request has been received and logged.  As required under the Official
Information Act 1982, the Ministry will respond to your request within 20
working days.  You should receive a response on or before 17 September
2015.

If a large amount of information has been requested or if the Ministry
needs to consult in order to make a decision, we may need to extend this
date (this is provided for in section 15A of the Act).  We will advise you
if such an extension is necessary.

The Ministry's reference number for your request is: H201503637

Yours sincerely
 
Ashley Goodwin
OIA Co-ordinator l Government Relations l Office of the Director General
