  1. To our astonishment, the Ombudsman did tell MSD that they should release their current list of WINZ Designated Doctors. They use them for second opinions and examinations or assessments of WINZ clients, where they ask for extra reports.

    Here are links to 2 PDF files, containing the list, which appear to have been created by way of file conversion from the original Excel file, released by MSD on 20 March 2018:

    The email that announced their decision:

    Also released, with apparently great reluctance, is this Guide for Designated Doctors:

    One wonders, what was so sensitive about that kind of guide?

    Much more info on all this is available here:

    So MSD can withhold such info for years, and got away with it, until recently. This is stuff the MSM never reports on, as they are too busy with taking cheap shots at government ministers and the new PM.
