He mihi nui ki a koutou katoa. Nau mai Haere mai. Homai ō whakāro mo te Waikato DHB Disability Responsiveness Plan.
Kia ora. Early this year we held a Disability Workshop seeking information on the challenges whānau hauā (people living with a disability and their whānau) face when accessing health services.
We listened to your kōrero and now have a draft Disability Responsiveness Plan that provides goals and actions for Waikato DHB to implement in order to eliminate the barriers and inequities faced by whānau hauā, in particular Māori, Pasifika and rural whānau hauā.

Venue: Waikowharawhara Room, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, Mangakotukutuku, 254 Ohaupo Rd, Glenview, Hamilton

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Tributes flow for Paul Galletta
Paul Galletta, “a real Waikato guy”, was farewelled by police and the rugby community at FMG Stadium on Wednesday.
A crowd of nearly 1500 gathered to celebrate the life of Galletta, who died at the age of 62 on November 23.
Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?
Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.
At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.
Do you think this was the right decision? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
