Dear A.D. Tait
Re: Official Information Act Request CDHB 9240 – Gender Reassignment Surgery Providers
We refer to your email dated 14 October 2015 requesting the following information under the
Official Information Act (1982):
(
In response to the information released by the Ministry of Health detailing that SRS provider
selection will be determined by District Health Boards and their specialist), I request any
information held by this DHB on prospective Male-to-Female sexual reassignment surgery
providers. My request is for information including but not limited to correspondence with
prospective providers, assessments of providers or correspondence with other DHBs or specialists.
Canterbury DHB submits gender reassignment requests to the Ministry of Health under the High Cost
Treatment Pool.
Canterbury DHB has not had correspondence with, or made assessments of, potential providers.
I trust that this satisfies your interest in this matter.
Yours sincerely
Carolyn Gullery
