Kia ora Amber
I refer to your official information request regarding Expected clinical hours which was received by Hutt Valley (HVDHB) and Capital & Coast (CCDHB) District Health Boards on 15 March 2022.
The OIA 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 to make our decision, to 29 April 2022.
This extension is necessary because your request necessitates a search through a large quantity of information and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with our operations. Consultation is also necessary to make a decision on your request and as such a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit. We are currently also experiencing staff absenteeism and work overload due to this.
If you have any queries, or if you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us – including this decision – please feel free to contact 2DHB by return email or by emailing us at [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 of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or free phone 0800 802 602.
