Tetraplegic fears confinement after funding cut

From Morning Report, 6:50 am on 28 September 2020

A South Island tetraplegic fears he will be confined to his bed, unfed and unwashed from today when the Ministry of Health cuts off funding from his carers.

The Ministry says the man has failed to keep accurate records and has invoiced for carers that don't exist.
