Dear Cody C
RE Official Information Act request CDHB 10593
I refer to your email dated 21 April 2021 requesting the following information under the Official
Information Act from Canterbury DHB regarding After-Hours home visit funding. Specifically:
1. Do you provide financial support to Pegasus 24 Hour Surgery to reduce the cost of home visits? If
so, why is a similar level of support not provided to Afterhours GP? For clarity - I am referring to
the website
https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.afterhoursgp.co.nz__;!!NUwMCyKv!Og2-
vq4UG4GfWRJnLP3c81lefcs2x-Ocpwti3KazjWjsj3otSN6DB1k9st_lxog1s5CTPQ$
The Canterbury DHB does not provide funding to the 24-hour surgery for free home visits.
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
