Dear Lait Dalal
Re: Official Information Act Request I refer to your Official Information Act request received
by email
on 15 February 2017
in which
you specifically requested the following:
The total number of designated PGY1 positions across all DHBs where, following a
withdrawal or decline by ACE matched candidates, PGY1 or higher candidates were
appointed. - Out of these appointments:
a) breakdown of appointments quarter wise.
b) how many were existing employee and required further PGY1 allocation to meet
MCNZ general registration requirements.
c) How many of these appointees satisfied MCNZ registration requirements through
comparable health care system or competent authority pathways.
Southern DHB’s response is as follows:
Question a – nil
Question b – nil
Question c - nil
You have the right to seek an investigation and review of our decision by the Ombudsman.
