How many rural hospital medicine registrars and specialist GP registrars were training on the West Coast in each of the past five years, broken down by year?

Answer

I am advised that this information is held in individual employee files and therefore providing the Member with this information would require Health New Zealand to undertake a substantial manual collation exercise and divert staff from their core duties. In accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 210-6, I consider that the time, and hence the expense, of answering the Member’s question is not in the public interest.
