Thank you for your request for official information, received on 17
September 2025 for: 

    How many flexible endoscopic procedures were performed per individual
DHB location in 2024?

In order to provide you with the information requested, could you please
clarify which Flexible endoscopy procedure you are seeking information
on. 

 

Flexible endoscopy can refer to a variety of procedures, for
example bronchoscopy, gastroscopy, colposcopy, hysteroscopy, cystoscopy,
or capsule endoscopy.  

 

Please note that District Health Boards (DHBs) were disestablished in
2022, with the formation of Health NZ / Te Whatu Ora. We have interpreted
your request as referring to Health NZ districts.  For more information
see

If you can provide your clarification by 5.00pm on Monday 29 September
2025 this will enable us to process your information request. 

Please also note, under section 15 of the Official Information Act 1982
(OIA), any clarification or amendments made to a request within seven days
after the date it is received, that request may be treated as a new
request and the time limit for the response restarts. 
 
We look forward to receiving your response.
