Subject: Official Information request - Request for Information on Major
Hospitals in Former DHBs
 

Dear MoH,

I am writing to request some information regarding the major hospitals
within the geographical areas of the 20 District Health Boards (DHBs) that
existed prior to their abolition in 2022. Specifically, for each of the
former DHBs, I would like to know:

- The name of the largest hospital in terms of healthcare provision within
that DHB's geographical area (i.e., the hospital providing the most
healthcare services).

- The year each of these hospitals was established based on your record.

Although the DHBs no longer exist, I am interested in this information
based on the 20 DHBs as they existed in 2020.

I appreciate your assistance with this request and look forward to your
response.

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards,  
Antony Andrews.
