Disability funding meeting in Whangarei

Glen McMillan from Glen McMillan Okara Ward

I went to the Ministry of Health meeting in Whangarei today it was about disability funding very interesting MOH feely admitted the same questions were asked ten years ago.
A person in the room pointed out when she was in charge 19 years ago it was also the same questions.

Is something being missed here like the answers to our questions?

I have 50 years of lived experience of disability I am running for council in Okara Ward Whangarei Glen McMillan is my name. we need a disabled person like me to sit on council to educate and create real change, not just talk about change but make the change happen.

The goal is to keep these spaces open for those who truly need them. Do you think this big increase in the fine is fair? Share your thoughts below.
