Subject: Official Information request - Endocrinologists providing Gender Dysphoria Services, Hutt Valley DHB

Dear Hutt District Health Board,

In 2015 the Ministry of Health released a series of documents as part of an OIA by A. D. Tait <https://fyi.org.nz/request/3188-2003-rev...>, which included notes from a meeting of clinicians held on 30 April 2003. In these notes it is stated that:

> "Hutt Valley Health has 2 endocrinologists providing some service [in this area] and there are occasional psychiatric assessments both both as part of transgender evaluation and management of other psychiatric issues for Hutt patients."

Please confirm, to the best of your abilities given the time elapsed, that the above quote was an accurate assessment of the situation in the Hutt Valley at the time.

It is generally understood that, at this moment in time, the HVDHB sends patients to CCDHB for transgender-related endocrinology services and does not provide these services itself. Please confirm that this is the case, and:

a. When the situation changed from that described in 2003 b. What the reasons for this change were c. Whether any reviews of this service and the appropriateness of outsourcing it to CCDHB have been conducted, and their results d. What, if any, HVDHB's plans are for the future of this service

Please answer these questions in a searchable and accessible format.

Yours faithfully,

P. Lamborn
