Dear University of Auckland,

Kia ora,

I am writing to request information under the Official Information Act
1982 regarding Fitness to Practise (FtP) outcomes for students entering
health or health-related professional programmes.

Specifically, I request the following information:

1. For the period 2019–2024, the number of students who were prevented or
barred from commencing a health or health-related professional programme
due to a Fitness to Practise concern identified prior to or at the point
of programme entry.

2. For any such cases, anonymised and aggregated information on:

* the stage at which the Fitness to Practise concern was identified;
   * whether the FtP concern was considered resolved, ongoing, or paused
at the time the decision was made;
   * the range of outcomes applied (e.g. delayed entry, conditions
imposed, requirement to remediate, exclusion).

I am not seeking any personally identifying information. Aggregated or
anonymised data is sufficient.

If any part of this request is refused, I ask that you specify the grounds
for refusal under the Act and release any information that can be
reasonably provided.

I am happy to receive the information electronically and am available to
clarify the scope of this request if required.
