Subject: Official Information request - The number of heart issue related
visits to hospital or surgeries

 

Dear Nelson Marlborough District Health Board,

I am seeking the number of people that have visited any/all hospitals and
doctor's surgeries within the NMDHB for any/all heart related issues,
(including but not limited to pericarditis, myocarditis, heart attacks and
strokes). The data requested is for the 11 month period from February 2021
until December 2021 inclusive, displayed in month by month format, and
compared to the monthly data for the previous three years.

Yours faithfully,
Paul Blackham

Re: Official Information Act request – The number of people presenting to

We refer to your official information request received by Nelson
Marlborough DHB on 25 January 2022.

 

The Official Information Act requires that we advise you of our decision
on your request no later than 20 working days after the day we received
your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time
limit and we are therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the
time of an additional 20 working days from 23 February 2022 to make our
decision, to 23 March 2022.

 

This extension is necessary because, and as specified under Section
15A(1)(b) of the Official Information Act 1982, ‘consultations necessary
to make a decision on the request are such that a proper response cannot
reasonably be made within the original time limit’.

 

On behalf of the responding services, we will endeavour to respond to your
request as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation by the Ombudsman of this
decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or free phone 0800 802 602.
