Hawke's Bay DHB ignored staff cancelling service - report

From Morning Report, 6:41 am on 22 July 2020

A review has found Hawke's Bay DHB ignored its own staff before accidentally cancelling home help for hundreds of elderly and disabled people.

In January, the DHB sent a letter to 600 people cancelling their house-work service.

It reinstated the service a week later and apologised to those who were angered by the decision.

Now the DHB has published an internal review of what went wrong.
