Dear A KS

Thank you for your email dated 28 November 2018 requesting the following
information under the Official Information Act 1982:

1:-List of GP's in ( Wellington and Lower Hutt cities ) who work as
Primary Lead Maternity Carer (LMC) in NZ. Please provide the name of GP
and practice  (if available).

I referred to an old news article which mentions "Ministry of Health
principal maternity adviser Bronwen Pelvin said there were 28 GPs the
ministry was aware of nationally who were acting as lead maternity
carers."

Here is the link to the news article

[1]https://scanmail.trustwave.com/?c=5305&a...

Also, I tried to find this information from "Find a registered doctor"
section of the Medical Council of New Zealand's website.But I can only
find the list of doctors with vocational scope "Obstetrics and
Gynaecology" which means it is the list of specialists but I am looking
for list of GP's as mentioned in the news article.

It will be great if this info can be provided.

The Ministry's reference number for your request is: H201808033.

As required under the Act we will endeavour to respond to your request no
later than 17 January 2018.

Please note, the three weeks between Christmas Day and 15 January the
following year do not count as working days. This means that any OIA or
LGOIMA request submitted from now may take a bit longer.
For more information, please refer to the following website:

If we are unable to respond to your request within this time frame, we
will notify you of an extension of that time frame.

get in touch.
