Dear Ms Black
Official Information Act Request
Thank you for your email of 27 July 2017 in relation to our response to your OIA
request of 7 July 2017. As requested, we have reconsidered our response and now
consider that we are able to release the requested information. Please note that we
have interpreted your question as being specific to our adult services (i.e. not including
our forensic services). Our response is as below.
There are a total of 10 cameras that are located in the public areas of the Henry
Rongomau Bennett Centre (HRBC). These look at the main entry, reception and
security booth areas of levels 1, 2 and 3. There is one camera that looks at the rear
entrance and there is one outside camera that looks towards the front, Selwyn
Street (vehicle) entrance. All cameras are visible and overt.
None of the cameras look specifically at patient or patient care areas and there are
none in clinical areas.
I hope this information is helpful. If you require any additional information or require
further assistance, please let me know.
Yours sincerely
Derek G Wright
Executive Director
Mental Health and Addictions Services
