3570 (2011). Carmel Sepuloni to the Minister for ACC: Has the report referred to in the Radio NZ article dated 7th May 2011 titled "ACC doctor drops court action against abuse victim" been made public; if so where can it be accessed; if not, why not?
Hon Dr Nick Smith (Minister for ACC) replied: ACC will not be publicly releasing the report completed by its Head of Assurance Services, as to do so would disclose the methodology used to determine whether there had been any inappropriate access. If the methodology used was widely disclosed this would prejudice ACC’s ability to detect offences. ACC has been able to confirm that the particular staff member has not accessed the client’s personal information through ACC system applications or accessed any physical claim files.
