Dear Government Services,
Thank you for some of the information. You say:

“District Health Board employee deaths
There have been fewer than four work-related fatal claims for District
Health Board employees between
1 January 2021 and 9 September 2025.”

You have withheld the information by which dhb this occured at. Would you
please provide the data on workplace  deaths by year please?

Yours sincerely,

Erika Whittome
