Dear Mr Wilson
Re: Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request for information
Thank you for your request received via email on 8 July 2016. The information you
requested was specifically for:
It has come to my attention that children aged 14-18 years are being served
four slices of white bread and two portions of margarine for the entirety of
their lunch at Dunedin Hospital. Please provide details of:
-
Who (and what role) is responsible for approving menus (specifically
including this meal offering) as being fit for these patients?
-
What specific nutritional/medical advice and/or advisors are being relied
upon for the decision to serve this as being nutritionally adequate?
-
How frequently this meal is being served.
Information relating to this request is held by New Zealand Health Partnerships.
For this reason, we are transferring your request as detailed above to the New
Zealand Health Partnerships under section 14 of the Official Information Act. I have
informed them of this transfer and they will respond to you directly.
Yours sincerely
Carole Heatly
Chief Executive Officer
