Thank you for your request of 17 April 2025 for the following information:
 

1. The demographic breakdown of the population served in each district
(e.g. ethnicity, age, gender where available).

2. The demographic breakdown of the health workforce, specifically junior
and senior doctors and nurses employed in each district (e.g. ethnicity,
age,
gender where available).

3. Copies of any current policies, procedures, or frameworks in place to
ensure culturally safe care where there is a significant mismatch between
the
demographics of the patient population and the demographics of the staff
providing care.

 
We believe your request asks for information which is more closely aligned
with the functions of Statistics NZ.  For this reason, Health New Zealand
has decided to transfer Question 1 one of your request to Statistics NZ
under section 14(b)(ii) of the Act.  You can expect a response from
Statistics NZ in due course.
 
Under section 28(3) of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman
to review any decisions made under this request. The Ombudsman may be
contacted by email at: [1][email address] or by calling 0800
