from Canterbury Mornings with John MacDonald · host Newstalk ZB
The Mental Health Minister's defending claiming his Government's inherited Hillmorton Hospital and its failings from the Labour-led Government of the time. A review of Canterbury's mental health services reveals significant failings, contributing to murders by patients in 2022 and 2024. Minister Matt Doocey told John MacDonald it's a fact. He says the report lays bare the state of Hillmorton in June 2022, and that is the reality of the system they inherited. Labour's Megan Woods told MacDonald this needs to not be about politics. She says it’s something they all have to take responsibility for, and it’s something they’ve got to work on. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
