Dear Dr Irvine
Official Information Act Request – Our Reference 2016/288
Thank you for your letter received by Capital and Coast District Health Board (CCDHB) on 21 December
2016, in which under the Official Information Act 1982 you requested information relating to the
financial status of the Kenepuru Accident & Medical Clinic.
The request asks if Kenepuru Accident and Medical Clinic (KAMC) operates at a net financial loss to
Capital and Coast DHB, or whether patient part-charges and ACC subsidies allow it to operate at a net
profit.
In response to your request, we cannot accurately determine profitability for KAMC as not all costs
have been allocated. I can advise that patient part charges and ACC subsidies do not cover the full cost
of providing the Kenepuru Accident and medical clinic services. CCDHB also subsidises the costs of
providing this service by more than 50%.
Please see the table below which identifies the financials for KAMC from July 2015 to June 2016.

Please note these are based on the direct costs only as there are numerous other costs not al ocated
down to the service level and are therefore not included.
Costs not allocated include:
• Clinical Testing costs
• Facilities costs, for example:
o Building rents and depreciation
• Utilities costs, for example:
o Heating charges
o Lighting
o Electricity
o Water
• Management administration costs, for example:
o Payroll administration charges
o Accounts Receivable costs generated in collecting ACC revenue, GMS funding and Patient Part
Payment charges
o Accounts Payable costs - especially from admin of contract doctors invoicing
The request also asks for the figures for the financial year ending April 2016, broken down by day and
evening shift (profit or loss, from 8am to 10pm) and evening shift (profit or loss, from 10pm to 8am).
We are unable to accurately break down the financial statements into individual shifts as we do not
allocate costs to this level within the financial system.
We would be more than happy to meet with you to discuss this if you wish.
Kind regards
