Appendix 4: Where patients were treated, from 2005/06 to 2009/10

Progress in delivering publicly funded scheduled services to patients.

Patients are not always treated by their own DHB. Each DHB:

  • treats its own patients where feasible;
  • refers its patients to be treated by another DHB; and
  • treats patients who are the responsibility of other DHBs.

We have graphed the number of patients discharged in each category for each DHB from 2005/06 to 2009/10. We comment on some of the graphs, but not all of them.

The data includes day-case surgical patients if they were assigned a case weight, and surgical patients treated by private providers contracted to provide the surgery on the DHB's behalf.

The data reported does not include:

  • scheduled medical patients;
  • scheduled surgical patients from overseas who were treated by DHBs; and
  • scheduled surgical patients treated by non-DHB providers. These patients were treated by a charity hospital or independently sought and paid for treatment in a private hospital.
