Dear Sallie Hobbs,

Thank you for your request for official information, received by the
Ministry of Health on 8 August 2016. The Ministry's reference number for
your request is: H20160 3199

You requested:

Please can you give me any statistics on HypoPARAthyroidism in NZ.  I am
especially interested in post surgical HPTH, but any statistics on this
rare endocrine disorder in NZ would be appreciated.

Your request has been received and logged.  You can expect a reply no
later than 5 September 2016 as required under the Official Information Act
1982.

Please note that a working day is defined in the Act as ‘any day of the
week other than a Saturday, Sunday, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Anzac Day,
Labour Day, the Sovereigns birthday, Waitangi Day and a day in the period
commencing 25 December in any year and ending 15 January in the following
year.

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: H20160 3199

Yours sincerely,
