Warren Forster: ACC lawyer and researcher on ACC's plan to improve costs and reduce its deficit

An ACC lawyer believes the crown entities new plan to improve costs completely misses what the Accident Compensation Act is about.  Its new plan's been released after a critical report that found its deficit would balloon to $26 billion by 2030.  It focuses on getting people back to work quicker and increasing the number of clients who have their own case manager as a single point of contact.   ACC lawyer and researcher Warren Forster told Andrew Dickens the act required all parties involved in an injury to get together to make a plan, which isn't happening.  He says ACC's plan has failed to address its statutory obligations that led to the cost blowout.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
