Kia ora Michael,

Thank you for your request for official information regarding DHB
Treatment Protocols, which was transferred to Hutt Valley and Capital &
Coast District Health Boards (2DHB) from the Ministry of Health on 20
September 2021.

 

Your request has been received and logged. Due to our two DHBs sharing
information, staff, many services, and a single Chief Executive, you will
receive a joint 2DHB response to your request. Please be assured that
separate data sets will apply to each DHB in our joint response.

 

As required under the OIA, we will respond to your request within 20
working days. You should therefore receive a response on or before 18
October 2021.

 

If a large amount of information has been requested or if 2DHB needs to
consult in order to make a decision, we may need to extend this date (this
is provided for in section 15A of the Act). We will advise you if such an
extension is necessary.

 

If you have any queries, please feel free to contact 2DHB by return email
or by emailing us at [email address] or
[email address]. If any additional factors come to light
which are relevant to your request, please do not hesitate to contact us
so that these can be taken into account.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman.
Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or free phone 0800 802 602.

Sent: Sunday, 19 September 2021 23:12
To: OIA Requests <[2][email address]>
Subject: Official Information request - DHB Treatment Protocols

 

Dear Ministry of Health,

1) What is the Covid-19 treatment protocol for hospitalised cases?
2) Are some DHB's following different treatment protocols from others?
3) Are DHB's free to make decisions about treatments for individuals with
Covid-19?
4) To what extent are patients able to participate in decision-making
about their treatment programmes?
5) If a patient requests a blood test for Vitamin D and/or the
administration of high dosage Vitamin C, are hospital staff able to
provide these? 
6) Do hospital staff have the right to refuse a patient's request and, if
so, is there a process for a patient to appeal the decision?

Yours faithfully,

Michael Vaughan

Dear Michael,

 

Please accept this as an acknowledgement of your Official Information Act
request below, as transferred to us from the Ministry of Health. I will
have a response to you on or before 29 October 2021.

 

1) What is the Covid-19 treatment protocol for hospitalised cases?

2) Are some DHB's following different treatment protocols from others?

3) Are DHB's free to make decisions about treatments for individuals with
Covid-19?

4) To what extent are patients able to participate in decision-making
about their treatment programmes?

5) If a patient requests a blood test for Vitamin D and/or the
administration of high dosage Vitamin C, are hospital staff able to
provide these?

6) Do hospital staff have the right to refuse a patient's request and, if
so, is there a process for a patient to appeal the decision?”

 

Southern DHB, like other agencies across the state sector, supports the
open disclosure of information to assist the public’s understanding of how
we are delivering publicly-funded healthcare. This includes the proactive
publication of anonymised Official Information Act responses on our
website from 10 working days after they have been released. If you believe
that there are any special reasons why proactive disclosure should not
apply to our response to you, we will be happy to consider this.
