Dear South Canterbury District Health Board,

Good Afternoon,

This is a request for official information under the Official Information Act 1982 regarding the cost of redundancies.

We request the following information:

1. How much has been spent on staff redundancies at your District Health Board, broken down per financial year since the 1st of July 2013?
2. How many redundancies occurred, broken down by financial year, for the same time frame?

We do not wish to cause unnecessary expense or burden on your agency. If clarification of any of our requests is needed, please call or email. Likewise, if a request proves unnecessarily burdensome in form and we are likely to be able to adjust it to be more specific or better suited to your information systems without losing the benefit of what is sought, please also get in touch. If there is likely to be a delay in being able to assemble or provide some of the information requested, please provide the rest of the information as it becomes available.

To avoid unnecessary printing and postage costs, we ask that you send a confirmation of receipt, the response and any other correspondence related to this request to [email address]. Please include the following reference in the subject line: Cost of Redundancies.

Kind regards,

Tabitha Lorck
