Wanganui DHB

A Wanganui elected member on the local 'Good Health' DHB is a whistleblower with balls of steel.

Elected member, Clive Solomon has been putting the DHB on the spot since 2001 re the lack of paediatricians on the hospital board, bungled sterilisations and various other matters relating patient safety. Now they want him removed forthwith because he is not voicing the party line.

The board is actively denying all, while using every means available to silence Clive. He seems a straight shooting guy who says there is a problem patients should be aware of. Pity there isn't one of him on every DHB or every government department!

The matter has been been put on hold for two weeks while lawyers talk at each other. I suspect as usual, the Ministry Of Health, will announce in two weeks that the matter has been thoroughly investigated and it is time to move on.

Clive will be invited to move on, never to be able work in NZ again and the matter will die an unnatural death as will Wanganui DHB patients.
