Dear Aaron
RE Official Information Act request CDHB 10089
I refer to your email dated 24 April 2019 requesting the following information from Canterbury DHB.
Specifically:
I have tried and failed to locate data on the daily bed cost for a patient in ICU and CICU. Is it
possible to gain a rough costing for both departments?
The average daily cost of a patient in our ICU wards is $5,500,
note CICU patients are included in ICU.
The actual cost for a patient will vary depending on their acuity and nursing ratio for that patient.
I trust that this satisfies your interest in this matter.
Please note that this response, or an edited version of this response, may be published on the
Canterbury DHB website after your receipt of this response.
Yours sincerely
Carolyn Gullery
Executive Director
