Dear Pariket
Re: Official Information Act Request CDHB 9499
We refer to your email dated 22 October 2016 and subsequently transferred to us from the Ministry
of Health on 2 November 2016 requesting the following information under the Official Information
Act.
1. Total number of PGY1 House Officer Positions filled in across DHB in New Zealand outside of
ACE matching system by UK/Canada/Ireland graduates?
2. Total number of PGY1 House Officer Positions filled in across DHB in New Zealand outside of
ACE matching system by NZREX graduates?
As required under the Official Information Act (1982), the Canterbury District Health Board will
respond to your request within 20 working days. You should receive a response on or before 1
December 2016.
If a large amount of information has been requested or if the Canterbury District Health Board 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.
Yours sincerely
Wayne Turp
