Dear David Lawson

Thank you for your request for official information, received by the
Ministry of Health on 14 March 2016, requesting:

It would be appreciated if you could provide to me all Official
Information in relation to the Healthlink and MMex health information
systems.

In your response please provide all official information on how an
individual can gain access to all correspondence that has been transferred
using this system.

It would also be useful to have provided all official information as to
how long the information that has been transferred in these systems can be
retained within this network for other treatment providers to access.

Please also provide any and all official information as to whether this
system can be used to store notes, and or information on  a health client
which can be retained on either of these systems for periods of time. Also
whether there are a list of indicators that are able to be attached to
theses systems that identify the individual for certain criteria and or
certain levels of health provision.

Please also advise who is responsible for the management and overseeing of
these systems. If it is not the ministry of health, what agency should I
seek this information from.

Your request has been received and logged.

As required under the Official Information Act 1982, the Ministry will
respond to your request within 20 working days.  You should receive a
response on or before 13 April 2016

If a large amount of information has been requested or if the Ministry
needs to consult in order to make a decision, we may need to extend this
date (this is provided for in Section 15A of the Act).  We will advise you
if such an extension is necessary.

The Ministry's reference number for your request is: H201600987

Kind regards,

Ashley Goodwin l Support Officer
