Dear Health and Disability Commissioner,

On the 19th of January 2024 I submitted a complaint against a doctor to the Medical Council for breaching advertising standards and the Medicines Act. I understand that complaints are also forwarded to the HDC.

I wish to confirm that this complaint was forwarded to the HDC.
I also request the attachments that were sent with this complaint.
If an attachment has to be withheld because of the privacy provisions, e.g. 9(2)(a) of the OIA Act and would reveal the name of the doctor, I still request the attachments to which 9(2)(a) does not apply.
If privacy provisions under 9(2)(a) apply because it woud reveal the name of the doctor and the attachment cannot be provided I request the name of the attached files to which 9(2)(a) applies (if the name itself does not breach 9(2)(a)).

Yours faithfully,

Simon Tegg
