Waitlist for Orchidectomy within Auckland Region
Kate Popham made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Kate Popham to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Kate Popham
Dear Ministry of Health,
I'm writing to request, under the Official Information Act 1982, information on the number of people who have been assessed and referred for a Bilateral Scrotal Orchidectomy, within the Auckland region (formerly Waitematā, Auckland, and Counties Manukau District Health Boards), who have not undergone the procedure yet.
When disclosing this information please ensure:
- That the number of cisgender men and transgender persons who are on this waitlist are shown separately, for the sake of contrast and comparison
- That the average wait time of both groups from date of referral to date of surgery is indicated
- That individuals who have been referred to a urology department but not yet been booked for the surgery, as well as individuals who have been booked in but have yet to receive the operation, are included (these do not need to be shown separately)
Additionally, please include the number of orchidectomies that have been performed each year from 2018 to the present day and, if possible, separate these figures by gender identity (ie. into categories of 'cisgender' and 'transgender') as well.
Ngā mihi nui,
Kate Popham
