Dear Matthew Rogers (WDHB),

Thank you for seeking clarification.
My intention is to use the definition of 'Medical Role' to encompassing staff who are employed predominantly in roles involved in the delivery of patient treatment.

My definition of 'Medical Role' includes; Nursing Staff, Allied Health Staff, & Medical Staff.
The balance of staff 'Non-Medical' will comprise other occupations employed at the DHB and would include; Administration, Maintenance, etc.

I understand that these broad definitions are commonly utilised in DHB reporting and have endeavoured not to reinvent the wheel.

Trust this clarification answers your question and I am happy to provide further clarification as required.

Yours sincerely,

S Macfarlane H
