On behalf of Gail Bingham, General Manager, Governance & Quality

 

Karyn,

 

Please find below,  response to your OIA request of 7 July 2017.

 

1.    Does “Te Whare Maiangiangi” and "Te Toki Maurere" mental health
inpatient units currently have security cameras operating with the
hospital areas?

I am defining hospital area as including: the reception area, entrance and
exit points, main patient leisure areas, occupational therapy spaces,
seclusion rooms, patient corridors, intensive care or high dependency
areas, private/patient outside garden spaces.

This excludes any cameras operating outside of the inpatient unit
treatment areas such as car parks, public hospital grounds.

 

2.    If the inpatient unit does have cameras operating may you please
provide the following information:

2.a) When were the cameras installed?

2.b) Where are the cameras are located?

2.c) How many cameras are operating?

2.d) “Seclusion, Restraint, and Assault” reporting data for one year prior
to the installation of any security cameras.  For example, if cameras were
installed June 2010, I request Seclusion, Restraint and Assault reporting
data for the period from June 2009 – June 2010.

2.e) “Seclusion, Restraint, and Assault” reporting data for one year after
the installation of any security cameras.  For example, if cameras were
installed June 2010, I request Seclusion, Restraint and Assault reporting
data for the period from June 2010 – June 2011.

 

Response:

The BOPDHB does not have security cameras operating at Te Toki Maurere or
Te Whare Maiangiangi inpatient units. We do have a video monitor with the
buzzer at the entrance for after-hours which has been in place since the
facility was built.

 

Regards

Maxine
