Dear Bob – we have noted from your reply that you have not yet been able to bring yourselves to say ‘sorry’.
It is not that hard to say if you really try; it is spelt S.O.R.R.Y.
Nicky was in your legal care (your choice, not his) when he died. What part of the responsibility for that does the Waikato DHB not accept?
The only people who have hidden behind the the excuse that you have to wait to investigate until after the Police investigations are the DHB, Ministry of Health and the MoH-appointed ‘Mental Health Inspectors’. The Police and Hauora Waikato (Nicky’s community mental health providers) have not done that.
The Police finished their investigations months ago. The Crown Prosecutor has been reviewing the file for some time, and your CEO has been informed of that by the Police. Your excuse is wearing very thin.
In the meantime, key staff have moved on, or been shifted on, or been offered jobs that will keep them quiet. Any investigation (even a non-independent one like yours) will be raking over ancient history by the time it commences.
Our family cannot move on while we have no answers, and no-one in the health sector will accept any responsibility.
The Waikato DHB failed our son, and is continuing to fail our family.
Dave keep at them they al shift you around and around hoping you will give up.
They have been trying to do this to me for 17yrs on health issues also as I have a disability caused by chemical poisoning on the job, and has been accepted by medical doctors and an overseas Workers tribunal but here the health Authorities say we don’t rate as a notifiable illness??????
Chemical poisoning is not a notifiable illness??
What planet do these people come from???
I therefor understand how these talking heads at corrections do the same “nothing to see here: modality, but keep it up, or they win.
The minister of Health’s response to a written question on why people turning up at DHB’s with depression, are being turned away ,was that National have put extra funding from the budget into health.( so much for answering the question)
Coleman is clearly responsible for under funding resulting in staff cuts, short cuts and a huge increase of crisis events. NZ has never had such an arrogant and incompetent health minister, full stop.
