Reporting of Methadone Patients with positive urine screens for other drugs to NZTA or NZ Police

Jason made this Official Information request to Canterbury District Health Board

The request was partially successful.

From: Jason

Dear Canterbury District Health Board,

I would like information about the Christchurch Methadone Program / Christchurch Opioid Recovery Service staff reporting OST patients to the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) or NZ Police when they screen positive for other drugs, in particular cannabis.

How many patients have been reported to the NZTA or NZ police by staff at the Christchurch Methadone Program / Christchurch Opioid Recovery Service in the last 5 years for screening positive for cannabis? Please provide a breakdown by year.

I would also like any memos, emails, directives, instructions, guidelines, policies etc regarding the reporting of patients to the NZTA or NZ Police for positive urine screens for cannabis and other drugs. I am not asking for confidential patient information.

For the purposes of the Act, I am a New Zealand citizen and residing in New Zealand at the time of making this request. You generally have 20 working days to respond to this notice, as required by law. Your response will be published publicly on the fyi.org.nz website.

Yours faithfully,

Jason
