Aeds in complexes

Aj wright made this Official Information request to Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities

Currently waiting for a response from Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).

From: Aj wright

Dear Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities,

I hope you are doing well.

I am reaching out to enquire about the number of Kāinga Ora social housing complexes across New Zealand that contain more than ten occupied units within a single complex or site.

In addition, I would be interested to know how many of these larger housing complexes currently have an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) available onsite for residents and visitors in the event of a cardiac emergency.

With New Zealand’s aging population, particularly within social housing communities, access to lifesaving equipment such as AEDs can play a critical role in improving emergency response outcomes during sudden cardiac arrest events.

Any information you are able to provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.

Yours faithfully,

Aj wright
