MAORI DISABLED SUFFER A DOUBLE WHAMMY AS A RESULT OF DISTRICT HEALTH BOARD'S LACK OF CARE“It’s a double whammy for us who are Maori and disabled. Maori are at greater risk of negative Covid-19 health impacts, Maori are already disproportionately represented amongst current inequities in access to high quality healthcare, and then Maori disabled are least likely to receive proper home help.” Dr Hickey is the first Māori disabled woman to gain a PhD in law from Waikato University. Dr Hickey currently sits on the New Zealand Human Rights Review Tribunal and in 2018. She is also a claimant in the Wai 2575 Health and Services Inquiry currently before the Waitangi Tribunal..... www.scoop.co.nz/stories/GE2004/S00093/maori-disabled-suffer-a-double-whammy-as-a-result-of-district-health-boards-lack-of-care.htm
