I write in response to your Official Information Act request received by us 10th September 2020, you requested the following information:
How has Covid-19 affected staffing? In terms of staying home as if the slightest bit sick.
What was your rate of sick leave from March - September 2019 compared to the same period 2020? a) How has the DHB managed this?
What was the DHB's average occupancy rate for March - September 2019 compared to the same period 2020? Can this please be broken down by month rather than lumped together.
Has this resulted in the DHB having to activate an action plan or escalation plan for wards? i.e. adults being put on children wards where there is more staffing etc.
