Dear Thai Quoc Khanh
Official Information Act Request – Our Reference 2018/214
Thank you for your e-mail received by Capital and Coast District Health Board (CCDHB) on 19 October
2018, in which under the Official Information Act 1982 you requested information regarding available
beds and occupancy rates.
The request asks for the number of available beds as well as occupancy rate at CCDHB in 2016 and 2017.
CCDHB operates two hospitals - Wellington Regional Hospital in Newtown and Kenepuru Hospital in
Porirua – as well as the Kapiti Health Centre at Paraparaumu and Te Korowai-Whāriki, a large mental
health campus based at Porirua.
The number of available inpatient staffed beds at both Wellington and Kenepuru Hospital are flexible
throughout the year and do change on a daily basis in response to both forecasted and actual high and
low levels of demand.
The table below summarises the number available inpatient beds at the start of the financial year and
the average daily midnight census by facility and ward.
