Dear Lait
Re: Official Information Act Request CDHB 9559
We refer to your email dated 13 February 2017 which was transferred to Canterbury District Health Board from
Ministry of Health on 15 February 2017, requesting the following information under the Official Information
Act.
Exact figure of last 3 years for the following:
1. Total Number of New Zealand medical graduates who were unable to find a PGY1 position in
2016 intake.
2. Total number of designated PGY1 positions across all DHB's where, following a withdrawal or
decline by ACE matched candidates, PGY2 or higher candidates were appointed.
3. Out of these appointments :-
A
-
Breakdown of appointments quarter wise.
B
-
How many were existing employee and required further PGY1 allocation to
meet MCNZ general registration requirements.
C
How many of these appointees satisfied MCNZ registration
requirements through comparable health care system or
competent authority pathways.
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 15 March 2017.
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
