Subject: Official Information Act request - Number of ACC claims for
statin injury.

Dear Accident Compensation Corporation,

I wish to request the number of claimants who have applied for ACC
cover due to statin related (treatment) injury or death. This could
include rhabdomyolysis, renal failure, myopathy, peripheral
neuropathy or polymyalgia rheumatic or any other injury.

I would also like to know how many claimants were accepted by ACC.

Yours faithfully,

Heather Barker

Subject: Re: Official Information Act request: Number of ACC claims for statin injury

Dear Anne Fitzgerald,

Thank you for the information, however I was expecting data to
include all adverse reactions and deaths from simvastatin. In the
case of my husband and several others that we know personally -
their injury occurred in the period 2001-2004. We know there are
around 20 deaths from statins and a considerable number of severe
adverse events - this information was from CARM. Is there a reason
the data you gave is only from 2005?

Thank you for your help.

Yours sincerely,

Heather Barker
