Vulnerable persons register observing familys trauma without contact pre or post suicide for data
k made this Official Information request to Department of Internal Affairs
Response to this request is long overdue. By law Department of Internal Affairs should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.
From: k
Dear Department of Internal Affairs,
I request all information on what services were put in place to risk assess the Vulnerable Persons List. This template is on the CASA website.
Vulnerable people are what the Waikato dhb, and some members of community boards the police feel that suicide is imminent due to a family member having committed suicide recently or a close friend, or a cluster of suicides in a contained area.
The suggestion that varied services observe these elected 'Vulnerable Persons'. Without contact and without knowledge of such a list.
Casa also goes on to pinpoint specific data that is maintained for some 10years and is to be shared with relevant authorities.
I have already request privately all the information regarding myself and my family members who were told by a slightly honest representative for the crown that my eldest son and myself have been on this list since 2019. To no avail. Nothing has been forthcoming at all.
Casa states that certain managers of each DHB hold the list as well as themselves, and the relevant services have access to this database.
1. What the cost of maintaining this list is for each dhb.
2. What are the observers having to observe and where is the critical point that would be addressed by making contact with a listee in order to assist
3. I would like to know how many people are on this list. either
A: with knowledge and consent or
B: completely unaware
4 How and who collates the data collected.
5 HOW MANY PERSONS HAVE COMMITTED SUICIDE WHILST EITHER
A: BEING ON THE LIST
B: HAVING FAMILY MEMBERS ON THIS LIST FOR EXTENDED PERIOD WITH NO CONTACT.
6. I would like to know who is the administrator and who is responsible for the inadequate and inhumane structure of observing without any contact to the persons being observed, even after a family member may commit suicide.
7. Under what human and legal rights as well as privacy laws does this 'Observing and collating data' use or fail to use
8.What funding is allocated for this VPL and for the varied govt services that are coerced to perform this.
9. Whether ACC is prepared to cover the cost of traumatic loss of life whilst being observed on the list. to cover government subsidised breach of ethics, laws, finacial accountability, morality and humanity.
10. Have you heard of the cartwright enquiry?
In good faith and displaying a lot more regard than the orchestrators of this list,
k,

Subject: Your Official Information Act request OIA2021-0499 (corrected)
Tēnā koe K,
Thank you for your OIA request to the Department of Internal Affairs
(included with this email). The Department of Internal Affairs does not
have any function triaging, overseeing or regulating Official Information
Act requests across all of government, and has no authority over the way
that other agencies respond to their requests. When making OIA requests
please try to directly contact the agency, entity or Minister that you
believe holds the information you are looking for.
As the information you have requested in parts 1 - 8 and 10 is not held by
the Department of Internal Affairs, but is believed to be held by, and
more closely related to the functions of Health, we consulted with the
Ministry of Health on transfer. We have been advised that your questions
are more appropriately directed to District Health Boards for response. I
am therefore notifying that these parts of your request are being
transferred to all District Health Boards, in accordance with section
14(b) of the Official Information Act 1982.
You can expect to hear from District Health Boards shortly in regard to
your request.
If you would like to contact them directly, you are able to email them at
the following addresses: (Note that some District Health Boards do not
appear to have OIA contact email addresses, or in fact any email addresses
on their websites. I have done my best to source contact information for
these).

As the information you have requested in part 9 is not held by the
Department of Internal Affairs, but is believed to be held by, and more
closely related to the functions of ACC, this part of your request being
transferred to ACC, in accordance with section 14(b) of the Official
Information Act 1982.
You can expect to hear from ACC shortly in regard to your request.
If you would like to contact them directly, you are able to email them at
the following addresses:

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision to transfer. Information about how to make a complaint is

Dear K
Re: Official Information Act request – Vulnerable persons register
We refer to your official information request received by Nelson
Marlborough DHB on 11 March 2021.
The Official Information Act requires that we advise you of our decision
on your request no later than 20 working days after the day we received
your clarification. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that
time limit and we are therefore writing to notify you of an extension of
the time of an additional 20 working days to make our decision, to 11 May
2021.
This extension is necessary because, and as specified under Section
15A(1)(b) of the Official Information Act 1982, ‘consultations necessary
to make a decision on the request are such that a proper response cannot
reasonably be made within the original time limit’.
On behalf of the responding services, we will endeavour to respond to your
request as soon as reasonably practicable.
You have the right to seek an investigation by the Ombudsman of this
decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or free phone 0800 802 602.

Please note that the ACC has rightfully and with consideration, informed me that families of youth aged 16 and under who take their lives are entitled to financial aid to help with funeral costs. I am most obliged and grateful for that charitable act in assisting our family through this time.
