Request for restraint policy and the use of mechanical restraints in all services

Health Sector Workers Network made this Official Information request to Wairarapa District Health Board

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Health Sector Workers Network to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Health Sector Workers Network

Dear Wairarapa District Health Board,

Can you please provide all policy documents relating to restraint practices at Wairarapa DHB?

Are there instances in the last year (June 2016 to June 2017) of the use of mechanical restraints? (i.e. strapping arms to bed) this is also referred to as physical restraint.
Can you please provide this data for both physical and mental health services and identify the service associated with this data?

This data should be recorded in a Restraint Register and specify the type of restraint used (ie wrist strap) and the start and finish times of each individual mechanical/physical restraint. Obviously the presentation of this data should be anonymised for the protection of privacy.

Yours faithfully,

Health Sector Workers Network
