Dear Antony
RE Official information request CDHB 9775 and WCDHB 9079
We refer to your Official Information Act request seeking the following from both Canterbury DHB and
West Coast DHB.
1. Bed occupancy rates at the public hospital/hospitals from July 2007 to June 2016. Please note that
I would like monthly data on this. However, if monthly data is not available, please specify the
reason. If monthly data is unavailable, the next preference will be quarterly data, if quarterly is
not available then I will accept half-yearly. Furthermore, as last resort yearly data. I am also willing
to accept data on bed occupancy rates at random intervals within a year.
We are writing to confirm that we are providing a response to your request, however, it is taking some
time to prepare the information for release. This will be provided to you as soon as is reasonably
practicable.
Yours sincerely
Wayne Turp
Project Specialist
