Dear Destiny
Ph: 07 834 3607
Official Information Act Request
Thank you for your request for information of 13 July 2017 for information relating to
patients admitted with certain symptoms or diagnoses.
I note on 19 July 2017 DHB Shared Services contacted you with a view to providing
some clarity and context to the information you require as the scope and nature of your
request is very large and covers and extended timeframe (20 years). It would seem
that clarification has not yet been received.
On that basis Waikato DHB is unable to provide the information you have requested
has been withheld under Section 18(f) of the Official Information Act 1982 because the
information requested cannot be made available without substantial collation or
research
However, Waikato DHB takes its obligations under the Official Information Act seriously
and if you are able to provide clarity around the areas of your request detailed by
Shared Services, we would be happy to reconsider your request and provide such
information as we are able to.
You have the right to request the Ombudsman investigate and review the decision to
withhold the information. The Ombudsman’s postal address is:
The Ombudsman
Office of the Ombudsmen
P O Box 10-152
WELLINGTON
In the meantime, should you have any queries or questions, please do not hesitate to
contact my office at the address above.
Yours sincerely
Derek G Wright
Executive Director
Mental Health and Addictions Service
