Dear Accident Compensation Corporation,

The Accident Compensation Corporation is noted as one of the 8 SPECIFIED HEALTH AGENCIES under Schedule 1 of the Health information Privacy Code 1994.

The Accident Compensation Corporation is noted as a 8th AGENCY under SCHEDULE 2 of the Health information Privacy Code 1994 of AGENCIES APPROVED TO ASSIGN NHI NUMBER.

I am writing to request all official information associated with ACC's and ACC's staff use of, access to, and ability to create, add to, delete from and amended National Health Index (NHI ), and Medical Warning Systems (MWS) Information on an ACC claimants NHI and or MWS, and or any other Unique Identifier associated with the NHI and or MWS, is provided to me per the terms and conditions of the Official Information Act 1982.

In the event ACC is able to create, add, modify and or delete any other unique identifier, that I have not already specified, that is or are associated with a claimant's NHI and or MWS numbers please specify the unique identifier/s and provide the same information that I have requested in relation to the NHI and MWS unique identifiers above.

It would be appreciated if you could ensure that all official information is included in response to my request, and specifically to include but not be limited to ACC policy, procedural and training documentation.

Under s16(2) of the Official Information Act, my preferred way of receiving a response is by email to the address from which ACC received the original request, not by post, and I thank you for your time and assistance.

Yours faithfully,

David Lawson
