Ruth's ACC contribution will be missed - Cullen
Minister for Accident Insurance Michael Cullen today put on record his gratitude to Ruth Dyson for her "sterling
contribution" to the Government's ACC reforms.
"Ruth is strongly committed to rebuilding and emphasising the original ACC focus on rehabilitation and accident
prevention.
"She brought that commitment to her role as associate minister in developing the new ACC legislation to be introduced
into Parliament before Christmas.
"Her mistake does not obliterate the competence and care she brought to ACC and to her other portfolios. I look forward
to Ruth's continuing assistance in implementing the Government's ACC reform programme," Dr Cullen said.
