Subject: Official Information request - DHB Treatment Protocols
From: Michael Vaughan <[FYI request #16802 email]>
To: OIA Requests <[email address]>

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
