Hiring data for PGY1 House Officers

J. Thomas-Maude made this Official Information request to West Coast District Health Board

The request was successful.

From: J. Thomas-Maude

Kia ora West Coast District Health Board,

I would like to make a request under the Official Information Act (1982) for the following data. Please could I ask that all the data be broken down year by year, rather than as a total for all the years in question.

1. The total number of PGY1 House Officer positions filled by the ACE matching system for each year between 2014 and 2022, and a breakdown of these by country of training of the candidate (e.g. New Zealand, Australia).
2. The total number of PGY1 House Officer positions filled in by NZREX graduates for each year between 2014 and 2022.
3. The total number of PGY1 House Officer positions filled in by candidates from a Comparable Health System (e.g. U.K., Ireland, U.S.A., Canada etc.) for each year between 2014 and 2022.
4. The total number of PGY1 House Officer positions that were available and advertised outside of the ACE matching system for each year between 2014 and 2022.

I have also sent a request to the Canterbury District Health Board for the same data, but it is my understanding that some administrative functions of the two DHBs are shared, and I am not sure if you prefer to respond to information requests separately or together. As such, if you prefer to provide the data for both the Canterbury and West Coast District Health Boards in one letter, I am happy to receive this in whichever format is most convenient.

Many thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Ngā mihi,
J. Thomas-Maude
