Please Share HPDT decisions for transparency

Erika Whittome made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health

Currently waiting for a response from Ministry of Health, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).

From: Erika Whittome

Dear Ministry of Health,
Would you please share all the health practitioner disciplinary tribunals decisions of
Dr Allana Ratna
Dr Matt Shelton
Dr Samantha Bailey
Midwife Melodie Wiley
Dr Sophie Febrey
Dr Chandler
Nurse Amanda Turner
Nurse Jennifer Scott
Midwife Irene Chain-Kalinowsky

The decisions since 2021 are not on the HPDT website
https://www.hpdt.org.nz/Search-Decisions...

I understand the MoH will have copies of these because the chief legal advisor at the ministry of health has Enforcement responsibilities, including oversight of enforcement of breaches of the COVID-19 Public Health Response Act 2020 (and associated instruments) and Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2000. He is responsible for oversight of legal services so will have access to these decisions . Kindly provide them under the official information act.

Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome
