Dear Amy
Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) – Response – OIA 2020/131
Thank you for your request for official information, which was partially transferred by the Ministry of
Health to Capital & Coast District Health Board (CCDHB) on 23 June 2020. You requested the following
information:
"… a copy of all DHB policies in regards to reporting unsafe, harmful, criminal behavior,
including the re-routing and interception of private communications, and policies on how they
document such incidents and how they are to safeguard against such incidents, as the
Operational Framework does indeed require every DHB to have such policies."
Our response to your request is outlined below.
Response
Please find enclosed the following CCDHB policies that relate to your request:
Adverse Event and Incident Management Policy
Confidentiality Policy
CCDHB External Communications Policy
Legislative Compliance Policy
Risk Management Policy
Health & Safety Policy
We have also provided our Management of Workplace Violence and Aggression Procedure; while not a
policy, we believe it matches the spirit of your request.
I trust our response meets your requirements. You have the right, under section 28 of the OIA, to seek a
review or to ask the Ombudsman to review the information that has been provided to you.
Yours sincerely
Fionnagh Dougan
Chief Executive
