From The Panel, 4:03 pm on 19 November 2019

The state of funding in the disability sector has been laid bare - and it doesn't paint a pretty picture. Trish Grant from advocacy group IHC joins us to discuss the issues, and how to solve them.The story of the doctors who have been holidaying while on overseas placements continues - with several GPs telling RNZ the practice is widespread, and may have been happening for decades. The MP for Waitaki, Jacqui Dean, has taken the case of a teenager with a lawnmowing business to Parliament. Fourteen-year-old Johnny O'Neill isn't allowed to drive his ride-on lawnmower between jobs on Central Otago, and Ms Dean has asked the Minister for Transport to help.
