RE Official Information Act request WCDHB 9305
I refer to your email dated 5 May 2019, and received on 6 May 2019, requesting the following information under
the Official Information Act from West Coast DHB regarding how the use of restraints in New Zealand mental
health facilities has changed since their minimisation became a priority in 2009. Specifically:
Re violent incidents in hospitals within DHB – last five years. How many incidents are reported within 48 hours of that patient being placed in seclusion or restraint? Were there any other factors or circumstances that may have contributed to the incident? We would like to understand if there is any relationship between restraint/seclusion and aggressive or violent incidents.
