MOH Consumer Forums alert – Have your say!
Do you or a family member have a disability?
Do you want to help shape the disability support services that the Ministry of Health funds?
The Disability Support Services Group of the Ministry of Health are visiting towns and cities around the country to get feedback from disabled people and their families to help us plan and fund the disability support services that you need.
We want to hear about how services work for you and what things are most important to you. We want to ensure you are valued, included and respected and that we fund services that allow you some choice and flexibility in the way you use these supports.
Disability Support Services has run consumer fora, hui and fono over the last 4 years and the input we received at these has influenced our strategic planning and priorities. Consumer participation in planning and developing services is critical if we are to have services that meet your needs.
By working together we can achieve our vision that you can live in your home and take part in your community in the same way other New Zealanders do.

There’s a forum at CCS Disability action this week in Hamilton I am going to.
I am having trouble with our buses in the mornings when I need my chair and I am bringing it up.
