Dear Sally

By agreement with the previous Board Chair and CEO, my whanau was given permission to make a brief presentation to the Board of Waikato DHB shortly after our son Nicky’s death in 2015. The presentation was principally in support of a request to the DHB to fund legal representation for our whanau in respect of the Coronial Inquest into Nicky’s death.

Waikato DHB has now commenced a new process of legally contesting the findings of Coroner Wallace Bain, despite your statements to us that the decisions were going to be accepted, so we could all move on.

That puts our whanau again in the position of having to enter a complicated legal process without funded legal representation.

We again request that Waikato DHB fully fund our legal representation in this, and any subsequent legal processes in respect of Nicky’s death.

To that end, we request the opportunity to make a presentation to the public section of the DHB Board meeting being held on 27thFebruary, 2019.

Ngā mihi

  1. NEVER trust the NZ Inc health bureaucracy and the medical professional registration authorities and lobby groups. Never trust the authorities like this, when it comes to such serious matters and legal disputes, do crowd fund or whatsoever, to get your own expert legal advice. That in itself is hard enough, as there are few experts in medico legal matters.
