Dear Shanna
RE Official Information Act request CDHB 10584
I refer to your email which was transferred from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment
(MBIE) to the Ministry of Health on 16 March 2021 and which the Ministry of Health subsequently
partially transferred to us on 7 April 2021 requesting the following information under the Official
Information Act from Canterbury DHB. Specifically:
1. I wish to know the number of other workers, not employed by Hotels, but working in MIQFs who
are currently earning below the Living Wage?
There are 181 Canterbury DHB staff working in MIQFs and of this number 18 casual health service
assistants on grade steps 1-3 (NZNO Health Care Assistants and Hospital Aides scale) and one driver are
earning below the Living Wage of $22.10 per hour.
I trust 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
Ralph La Salle
Acting Executive Director
Planning, Funding & Decision Support
