Disability Support Services the way forward.
Last year the Disability Services Directorate (DSD) of the Ministry of Health visited towns and cities throughout New Zealand to find out how the disability support system was working for disabled people, their families, whanau and carers.
This year we are re-visiting the main centres and visiting some smaller and more rural places for the first time.
These meetings provide an opportunity for you to talk to us about the disability support services we fund and to share any ideas you have for the future provision of services.
The Deputy Director-General of DSD, Geraldine Woods will be attending many of the meetings along with other staff from the directorate. Registration is preferred prior to the day to ensure adequate resources are available, however you are also welcome to just turn up.
For further information or to register please contact Janette Searle on (09) 810 9488, go to http://www.moh.govt.nz/dsdforum , call free on 0800 373 664 or email dsdforum@moh.govt.nz. Or just turn up on the day.
