8420 (2010). Lynne Pillay to the Minister for ACC: How many case of sexual abuse reported in 2008, by region and gender, have received support from the Sensitive Claims Unit?
Hon Dr Nick Smith (Minister for ACC) replied: ACC does not record data on the number of reported cases where people “received support”. Data is kept on claims lodged by month and region but this is significantly less than the number receiving support. Data is also kept on total expenditure. Data is not collated from individual claim files on how much or how frequent contact they have had from health professionals or ACC and it would be a huge job to add up this information. The member needs to clarify the question so I am able to provide the information she requires.
