Maori Affairs Minister resumes duties
Mâori Affairs Minister Parekura Horomia is back at his farm near Tolaga Bay following routine hospital treatment to deal
with a health complaint.
"I have been meaning to have an issue of water retention looked at for sometime and the Parliamentary recess presented
me with that opportunity on Monday night. I left Wakefield Hospital early this morning and I am grateful to the staff
for their good work.
"I will be attending five hui over the recess including the national hui called by Hauraki Iwi on the seabed issue. I
will be back in Wellington on Monday after which I will take some time off before resuming full duties," said Parekura
Horomia.
"I will not be making any further comment regarding issues to do with my health."
