Tēnā koe Jack, 
Thank you for your requests for information for information regarding
birth certificates. You asked:

" I am requesting the demographic statistics of every birth certificate
issues, broken down by the DHBs issuing each certificate, from
1990-2010.
By demographic statistics, I am requesting information like parental
age, parental/child ethnicity where applicable, occupation if recorded,
parents present, issuing type (new or replacement).
Ideally, this would mean I could view the demographic information of
issues birth certificates in a manner that could be filtered by DHB,
preferable in a spreadsheet or spreadsheet-equivalent format."

and, 

"I am requesting the names, versions, and any relevant implementation
information of systems (computer applications, software, hardware, or
peripheral devices like scanners) in the creation, maintenance,
transfer, and issuing of birth certificates, from 1990-2010 broken down
by DHB.
Ideally, information should be presented in a spreadsheet or
spreadsheet-equivalent format, with dates attributed to each system name
and version, preferably a date range for the period of time these
systems were used and if they are currently used.
In the spreadsheet, I should be able to filter by a selected DHB."

So that we can ensure you are provided the correct information, can you
please clarify if you are seeking information related to a product held by
the district health boards or solely Birth Certificates.
We look forward to your response. 
Ngā mihi, 
OIA Services
