Subject: Official Information Act request - Continued funding of Acupuncture and Chiropractic

Dear Accident Compensation Corporation,

I write following your OIA response of 11Feb2014 to Mr D Lohr. In that response you said Acupuncture and Chiropractic are funded by ACC as supplementaty to "normal medical management", and you said "not all modalities" of Acupuncture and Chiropractic are funded by ACC.

Can you please tell me:
1. what Acupuncture and Chiropractic "modalities" are funded and how these have been arrived at and other Acupuncture and Chiropractic modalities excluded?
2. upon what scientific evidence you continue to fund the modalities you fund?
3. who are the experts on Acupuncture and Chiropractic that you consult for assessment of this scientific evidence.

I am happy to be guided by you to consider modifying this request if necessary.

Yours faithfully,

Kevin McCready
