Veterinarian retention, mental illness, suicide, oversupply
James Wilson made this Official Information request to Massey University
The request was partially successful.
From: James Wilson
Dear Massey University,
Of your graduates, how many found gainful employment as veterinarians in each of the last five calendar years?
Of your graduates, how long on average do they remain in the veterinary industry?
What is the prevalence of mental illness among your veterinary undergraduates, compared to the mental illness of a similar cohort of non veterinary students?
How many of your graduates or students have committed or are suspected to have committed suicide since the year 2000?
Do you agree that the world has now for some time been in a state of severe oversupply of Western-trained veterinarians?
Yours faithfully,
Dr James Wilson
Massey University

I get a feeling you'll get a few "Information not held" parts to your query.
1 & 2 may be okay if they do graduate surveys (like Victoria & others do)
3 - I doubt they track that info
4 - I'd hazard a guess not held, but you could try Coronial Services, which would be under the Ministry of Justice agency here, or if doing research (I notice your Dr title) you may be able to access NCIS (see bottom of http://www.justice.govt.nz/courts/corone...)
