Dear Thai Quoc Khanh

Thank you for your email dated 8 November 2018 requesting the following
information under the Official Information Act 1982:

By accessing the website:
[1]https://www.health.govt.nz/new-zealand-h...,
I found the performance of each DHB against the targets set. However, it
seems that only the relative figures are shown (in percentage) and there
have been no sources of data on plan and actual for each target.

Please kindly provide me the plan and actual number in absolute term for
each target at each DHB from 2012 to 2017. For example, when calculating
the achievement in "Better help for smokers to quit", the target in 2013
for Auckland DHB was 200 smokers; the actual number of people quit smoking
was 180, then the performance in this target was 90%.

The Ministry's reference number for your request is: H201807505.

As required under the Act we will endeavour to respond to your request no
later than 6 December 2018, being 20 working days after the day your
request was received.  

If we are unable to respond to your request within this time frame, we
will notify you of an extension of that time frame.

If you have any queries related to this request, please do not hesitate to
get in touch.
 
Yours sincerely,

Jan Torres

Dear Thai Quoc Khanh

We would like to clarify your request of 8 November 2018 for:

seems that only the relative figures are shown (in percentage) and there

Are you able to define the term 'planned' vs 'actual'. Did you  mean
numerator and denominator?

Please note that any clarification or amendment of a request is considered
to be a new request for the purpose of calculating the maximum statutory
timeframe for response - see section 15(1AA) of the Official Information
Act.
I look forward to your advice clarifying the OIA request.

Dear Ministry of Health,

Thank you very much for your dedicated help and quick response.
Basing on your data on performance of the national targets over the period
from 2013 to 2016, I found that in comparison with 2014,  the number of
elective surgery dramatically increases in 2015 (from  167,104 to 200,323;
almost 20%).
If possible, could you please provide me the causes for this surge?

Thank you very much for your help,

Yours faithfully,

Thai Quoc Khanh
