Rosemary McDonald, in reply to
given that the announcement was consistently presented as being about research rather than income support or service eligibility.
Hmmm...maybe not the right place to talk about this as this post is about RNZ's ratings. Suffice to say, that other media articles did actually talk about service provision, in terms of better health outcomes for those with the complex needs that arise from a spinal cord impairment.
Also, the 'journalist' used the terms "injury" and "injured" consistently in the piece when the Registry's actual title is The New Zealand Spinal Cord Impairment Registry.
Born out of the New Zealand Spinal Cord Impairment Action Plan 2014 - 2019, the end result of the Joint ACC/MOH national Spinal Cord Impairment (SCI) initiative.
Also, it appears that there was a orchestrated attempt to keep non ACC spinal impaired away from this event that theoretically (unless the RNZ 'journalist' knows something that we don't) includes those who become spinal cord impaired because of a non injury event.
The RNZ 'journalist' only spoke to those 'officially' invited spinal impaired attendees, ALL of whom are ACC clients. He could have spoke to the guy in the wheelchair holding the sign saying "MOH Spinal Impaired....We Shouldn't Have To Beg" and found out that even though his high level Spinal Cord Impairment was caused by an accident 45 1/2 years ago, he was there trying to be the voice of all those trying to live with a Spinal Cord Impairment under the Misery of Health.
Just trying to jump the narrative back on track...
