1710 (2010). Lynne Pillay to the Minister for ACC (05 Mar 2010): How many sensitive claims were lodged, and how many did ACC approve and decline in November and December 2008 and January and February 2009, by region?
Hon Dr Nick Smith (Minister for ACC) replied: Corrected reply: I refer the Member to the attached table, which shows all new sensitive claims lodged with ACC from 01 November 2008 to 28 February 2009, by region of accident, and including the decision status of the claim. I caution the member from using data over such a short time frame to draw significant conclusions, particularly the months around Christmas when claims numbers can vary due to holiday periods for practitioners.

1711 (2010). Lynne Pillay to the Minister for ACC: How many sensitive claims were lodged, and how many did ACC approve and decline in November and December 2009 and January and February 2010, by region?
Hon Dr Nick Smith (Minister for ACC) replied: Corrected reply: I refer the Member to the attached table which shows all new sensitive claims lodged with ACC from 01 November 2009 to 28 February 2010. The table shows the regions in which the accidents were recorded, and the claim’s current decision status. When collecting the data on claims where a decision has not been made, ACC has also attempted to gather information about the reasons for the delay. These reasons have been grouped into two categories, awaiting necessary external information, and under assessment by ACC for claims decision. In the latter, the assumption is that ACC has received sufficient information to begin deliberating on the cover decision. I would caution the member around drawing conclusions over just a four month period, covering Christmas, when data for this period is atypical as a consequence of many people taking holidays during January.
