Dear Health New Zealand,

I am requesting the following information, broken down by each former District Health Board

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.

Yours faithfully,

Peter T
