From Morning Report, 6:14 am on 24 September 2020

A disability advocate says the closure of the Laura Fergusson Trust will be a disaster for Auckland's disability community.

Dr Huhana Hickey says the city's services for the disabled are already meagre and stretched, even before the Trust announced it was closing.

But it leaves just one public hydrotherapy pool in the whole of Auckland.

She spoke to RNZ reporter, Catherine Hutton and started telling her what the closure of the Greenlane site will mean for Auckland.
