1. This: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&0bjectid... is Ann Tolley and the National Governments attempt at abdicating all responsibility for the recent death of baby Emma-Lita Bourne,

   Data sharing claims Minister Tolley might have saved that baby’s life, what a crock,

   What NGO’s were involved with the family leading up to that death where another sibling in the Home already had a significant Respiratory Disease, none is the answer,

   The lack of information was obviously between the Ministers own department, WINZ, and the medical professionals who treated baby Emma-Lita’s brother for that serious Respiratory Disease,

   Neither those paid by the Government, the medical professionals, to treat those kids, or, WINZ, have seen fit to (a) inform baby Emma-Lita’s mum that she was entitled to monies for Home Heating through the Child Disability Allowance, the Disability Allowance, and/or, the Special Benefit,

   And (b), made damn fucking sure that such monies were being paid to baby Emma-Lita’s mum so such Home Heating was provided,

   It sickens me to see a Minister of the Crown attempt to wash her hands of the department, WINZ, she controls responsibility to inform the medical profession of the monies available for Home Heating where a diagnosis of a serious Respiratory Disease is present,

   It sickens me to think that the Government pays all the medical costs of these kids repeat visits to GP’s and hospitalizations to the tune of 25-50,000 admissions a year at a cost of $1200 a day for each child IF those medical professionals do not have full knowledge of such monies available from WINZ which would PREVENT such GP visits and hospital admissions,

   It is the role of the Ministers, Ann Tolley’s WINZ and Jonanthon Coleman’s Health to ensure that all party’s, Doctors, WINZ and the parents of the kids effected are fully informed of what monies are available to heat at least one room in these homes where there is a serious Respiratory Disease,

   It is totally fucking unacceptable for a Minister of the Crown to place the blame for the death of Emma-Lita Bourne on some fiction of an
   Ghost NGO that was never involved with the family…
