Dear Mr Andrews
Re:
Official Information Act Request
I refer to your Official Information Act request received on 5 December 2019 in which you specifically
requested the following:
Could I please request if South Canterbury District Health Board can provide an approximate
estimate of hospital floor space in square metres of all the hospitals it owns, please? A rough
estimate will be fine.
The answer is approximately 24,169 m2.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review of our decision by the Ombudsman. The
Ombudsman's Office can be contacted on 0800 802 602 or on-line at

Kind regards
Catherine Johnson
Executive Assistant
SC District Health Board
