Thanks for nothing Mr Cullen, says IHC
The Budget has ignored the 35,000 most needy people in New Zealand, says IHC New Zealand.
People with intellectual disabilities consistently have the lowest life expectancy, lowest income, poorest education outcomes and worst health of any other group in society.
This budget offers nothing for people with intellectual disabilities. In fact, it doesn't even mention them.
"Thanks for nothing, Mr Cullen," says chief executive Ralph Jones.
