Subject: Re: Official Information Act request - SRS Providers

Dear Toni Lexmond,

The request was made through the FYI website. It should have gone to the same address as my previous email.

You can view the request here https://fyi.org.nz/request/3236-srs-prov... and it is included below.

In response to the information released by the Ministry of Health detailing that SRS provider selection will be determined by District Health Boards and their specialists (see the releases for https://fyi.org.nz/request/3088-sexual-r...
and https://fyi.org.nz/request/3168-overseas...), I request any information held by this DHB on prospective Male-to-Female sexual reassignment surgery providers.

My request is for information including but not limited to correspondence with prospective providers, assessments of providers or correspondence with other DHBs or specialists.

Yours sincerely,

A. D. Tait

On behalf Lynsey Bartlett, Acting Chief Executive, Hauora Tairâwhiti…

Tena koe A.D Tait

 

Thank you for your OIA request - posted on the FYI website - for
information under the Official Information Act 1982, about sexual
reassignment surgery. As advised earlier, this request was not received
until 17 November.

 

You requested any information held by Hauora Tairâwhiti on prospective
Male-to-Female sexual reassignment surgery providers.

 

Hauora Tairâwhiti has not provided any information on sexual reassignment
surgery providers to patients. To our knowledge there are no such surgeons
operating in NZ.

We do provide psychiatric assessments and then referrals to a General
Practitioner who can start medication.

 There is no referral process from Hauora Tairâwhiti to any surgical
service.

 

If you are not satisfied with this response you may contact the Office of
the Ombudsmen, phone 0800 802 602.

 

Naku noa, na

 

Toni
