The elderly deserve better, each year we have to fight just to get them an inflation adjustment, and this year the government agencies who should be acting responsibly i.e.,DHBs, are not. They have skimmed $4.5 million dollars for their own costs, instead of passing it on to the elderly. This has to stop, the elderly need assurance that the funding for their care is automatically tied to inflation otherwise their quality of life will just be eroded.
