Monthly Surveillance Report

Antony Andrews made this Official Information request to Institute of Environmental Science and Research Limited

The request was successful.

From: Antony Andrews

Dear Institute of Environmental Science and Research Limited,

I refer you to your website link https://surv.esr.cri.nz/surveillance/mon... ,which gives data on total number of cases that was presented to each DHB as a result of outbreaks.
I am particularly interested in the monthly data from July 2007 until June 2017.
The report titled "Notifiable Disease Surveillance Data by District Health Board" contains all the data I need. However, the data is given in PDF format and typing these data into excel for 120 months for each DHB will take a long time and is prone to typing error.

So could I please request under official information act that you provide me with monthly data from July 2007 to June 2017 for each DHB in excel format which can easily be used for analysis. The excel data you intend to provide do not need to broken down based on disease types, a simple monthly count of total number of cases due to outbreak by DHB will be fine.

Thank you for your time.

Yours faithfully,
Antony Andrews

Dear Lisa Oakley,
Thank you for your message.
I think the link you provided for New Zealand Public Health Observatory does have excel files.
So this will be sufficient for my research.

Thank you
