Dispute over where Whanau Ora funding boost is going

From Morning Report, 8:41 am on 1 October 2019

Whanau Ora leaders are challenging their Minister Peeni Henare over where an 80 million dollar funding boost is going. The Commissioning Agencies, who pay for Whanau Ora services, say too much of that money is going to government departments and not them. But the Minister disputes that - and says the commissioning agencies are not the "be all and end all" of Whanau Ora. Our Maori News Correspondent Leigh-Marama McLachlan reports.
