Podcasts about Health authority

Washington, DC, April 25, 2025 — On this month's podcast episode, the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) speakers discuss the recent reorganization of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), including significant layoffs of staff working on public health programs, as well as the recently leaked funding “passback” document and what this means for public health. They also share an update on a lawsuit filed by some states against HHS on the clawback of billions of dollars of COVID-era supplemental funding. For more frequent updates, subscribe to NACCHO's News from Washington weekly newsletter: www.naccho.org/advocacy/news.   Later in the program (7:15), Philip “Phil” Huang, MD, MPH, Director and Health Authority at Dallas County Health and Human Services (DCHHS), and Miranda Grant, a DCHHS Program Manager for the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative, join NACCHO to discuss DCHHS' efforts to prevent, detect, treat, and respond to HIV in Dallas County and the critical role local public health plays in improving health outcomes.    During the episode, they share the current state of the epidemic in Dallas County, the disproportionate impact on Black and Hispanic communities, the importance of community partnerships in reaching more diverse populations, the promising outlook for a reduction in new cases by 2030, and how fostering community engagement and data-driven planning will help address the epidemic. They highlight their trauma-informed learning collaborative, a county-wide initiative to help reduce workforce burnout and address stigma surrounding HIV. Dallas County has also seen a significant increase in PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) usage with up to 8,000 residents on PrEP in 2023 versus 300 people in 2014. However, without sustainable investments in HIV prevention, Dallas County faces a growing crisis in its communities and an economic strain – each HIV case prevented saves an estimated $420,000 in lifetime costs.

In Aotearoa-New Zealand, the proportion of doctors identifying as Māori has doubled from where it was a decade ago to over 5 percent. But there is still a long way to go before the workforce is representative of the broader population which is 17 percent Māori.The Auckland and Otago Medical Schools have in recent years turbocharged their intake of Māori and Pasifika students but these graduates don't seem to have trickled through to the RACP in great numbers. Just 3.5 percent of general physicians and 4.8 percent of paediatricians identify as Māori, and Pasifika doctors make up a further 1 and 2 percent respectively.In this podcast, three Māori medics discuss how the culture of training environments can be made more welcoming to junior doctors with diverse ethnic backgrounds. This discussion takes place in light of an independent review into the clinical examination for paediatrics in Aotearoa-New Zealand which found issues with standardization, transparency and cultural safety. 2024 was a tough year for Māori Health more broadly, as it saw the disestablishment of a dedicated Health Authority, Te Aka Whai Ora, after just twelve months of operation. Guests Dr Danny de Lore FRACP (Rotorua Hospital; University of Auckland)Dr Matthew Wheeler FRACP (Tauranga Hospital; University of Auckland)Dr Ngaire Keenan PhD (Sydney Children's Hospital, Westmead; University of Otago)ProductionProduced by Mic Cavazzini DPhil.

Send us a textIn this episode, we learn about the inner workings of two critical elements of the community-based ecosystem in Trieste:  the community mental health center (CMHC) and the psychiatric unit in the city's general hospital (known as the Psychiatric Diagnostic and Treatment Services or SPDC).  Tommaso Bonavigo, is a psychiatrist at the CMHC Maddalena.  He received his education at the Università degli studi di Trieste, graduating first as a doctor (2010) and then as a psychiatrist (2016).Alessandra Oretti is the interim director of the mental health department for the city of Trieste and also serves as the head of the central hospital's psychiatric unit.  She has worked in the Trieste mental health system dating back to 1994 and received her degree from the Università degli studi di Trieste in 1998. The Azienda Sanitaria Universitaria Giuliano Isontina (ASUGI) is the Health Authority which services the Friuli Venezia Giulia region.  Oretti and Bonavigo  are part of the team of ASUGI experts in the following cooperation projects:RING project (INTEGRATED STRENGTHENING OF THE PALESTINIAN HEALTH SYSTEM) led by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) in the West Bank area (mainly in the psychiatric hospital of Bethlehem)DUSM project (Diritti umani e salute mentale dei detenuti ) in Albania, which means Human rights and mental health of the prisoners in Albania,  led by a consortium of Italian and Albanian NGOsCollaboration with East London Foundation Trust for developing a pilot CMHC which will remain open 24 hours In this interview, you will pick up on these themes:The importance of the therapeutic relationship which is based upon trust built up over time. How services are integrated in Trieste and the ways in which all the various people impacting a service user – the social worker, nurse, psychiatrist, police (if warranted) and others – create a team around a person.How accountability is assured through the designation of catchment areas – which denotes a territory for which the staff in a CMHC feel responsible for the people they serve. Resources: How a small Italian city became a model for mental health care.

Today marks a year since the coalition government of National, Act and New Zealand First took office. The coalition hit the ground running, by reversing the previous Labour Government's agenda in a ‘policy bonfire', slimming down the public service, and reverting many Crown organisations to their English names. This, and the scrapping of the Māori Health Authority, kickstarted tensions between this Government and Māoridom – with backlash on the Treaty Principles Bill only adding fuel to the flames earlier this month. But, with wins around tax cuts, benefits for families, more regional investment, and new laws to tackle crime --there's plenty for the Government to celebrate – with Prime Minister Christopher Luxon saying this week he is ‘aspirational' for New Zealanders' and ‘energized' for the next two years. To discuss how the coalition government has fared with all this in mind, today on The Front Page, we're joined by political commentator and researcher Bryce Edwards.

Navigating the health care system can be stressful and for First Nations people, it can also come with some mistrust of the system itself. A new program from the Mi'kmaq Health Authority is looking to remedy that.

The Montreal Gazette's Aaron Derfel joined Aaron Rand to talk about health care in Montreal.

September marks Suicide Prevention Month, and GibSams have come together with several charities for an awareness day at John Mackintosh Square. Today's podcast was recorded live from Piazza, where we spoke to of the key figures advocating for mental health. This year's theme is “Changing the Narrative”, aiming to inspire people, communities, organisations and governments to face up to the challenge that suicide poses. Before diving into this important conversation, sports reporter Jose Mari Ruiz brought us the latest in local sport from the weekend. ‘Love, Compassion, Hope' is emblazoned on the banners for the charity ‘Walking Together'. Denise Wilkinson and Alan Clarke told us what their support group represents, and how they help those who have lost loved ones to suicide. The Youth Service has been running in Gibraltar since 1963. Rebecca Figueras told us more about the variety of opportunities and services for the youth and have worked with partner organisations to support young people. Conchita Triay from the Mental Welfare Society spoke about how mental health awareness has come a long way in the last few years, but now the focus needs to be on implementing an efficient system to support those in need. GibSams' Brendy Cuby told us what the impetus was for organising this event, and how the goal is for people to feel free to talk about suicide without fear or stigma. Department of Education's Jackie Linares and Natasha Cerisola from The Health Authority told us how young people are being supported and how vital it is to focus on suicide prevention.

Minister for Tourism Christian Santos said in an interview shortly after becoming Minister that he wants the Gibraltar experience to be a seamless tourist and cultural experience. Now that the summer season is coming to a close, we spoke to CEO of the Tourist Board Kevin Bossino about how tourism has been lately, and what the expressions of interest for improvements to the Upper Rock could bring. Sports Reporter Jose Mari Ruiz told us what's coming up in local sport over the weekend, as well as looking back to the disappointing result for Lincoln last night. We had a special surprise up our sleeve for Jose which he did not expect! Jeanette Ochello has recently been appointed as the new Chairperson of the Alzheimer's and Dementia Society. We asked Jeanette about her journey with GADS. We also spoke to Karen Truman, Dementia Coordinator for the Health Authority and Elderly Residential Services. And, in this week's edition of “Llanitos Abroad” we caught up with Kevin Murphy who is sailing the Mediterranean on a yacht for a living! He told us what it's like being at sea full time. He's back on the Rock briefly after arriving from the South of France. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I have always avoided getting into the Treaty principles debate.    It's just too much of a swamp to get trapped in.    Either you're for David Seymour's debate on a reset, in which case some will call you a racist.    Or you're against a select committee debate means the racists will call you a wokester.    Both of which are gross exaggerations of what's really going down, so it's best to just avoid it.    However, with the resignation of Dr Anthony Jordan from the Pharmac board, I find myself truly confused.    Dr Jordan quit over the Government's treaty directive. David Seymour told Pharmac it was inappropriate for the agency to keep considering the Treaty of Waitangi in the health sector.   Dr Jordan said he "could not with good conscience" continue to work for the agency following that direction.    But as an outsider, I can't understand how the treaty was factored into Pharmac's decisions.    If ever there was an agency that's work was based on need, it's Pharmac. Everybody gets sick, everybody needs medicine. Pharmac's job is to decide what medicines work for New Zealand. While it's true that Māori get some illnesses more than others it's still a need. If that need is great enough it may get funded.    It's a bit like the belief that the Māori Health Authority and Te Whatu Ora's setup meant that Māori received priority in healthcare. It's a factor to be looked out for in identifying need but at the end of the day nobody jumped the queue. Once your need is identified you join a raceless list based on priority.    But Dr Anthony Jordan has now resigned, and I wonder if he's ever considered that this will have more effect on Māori seeking equitable healthcare results from Māori than David Seymour's war on Treaty principles.    Dr Jordan is, by the way, the partner of a Labour MP and his resignation smacks to me more of political virtue signalling than standing up for Māori in the healthcare system.  The question for Dr Jordan is: Was it better to be fighting for Māori inside the tent or sitting around outside the tent moaning and achieving nothing at all?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today I'm interviewing Nadia Scott, a 1/3 Sacral Generator Nadia is a Quad Left, with the channels of Rhythm and Curiosity.  I asked Nadia if she wanted to come on Anew Narrative because when I found her instagram, I was immediately attracted to her energy and soon figured out why. Nadia has been through a profound health journey and while some of it is gutwrenching, it does have a very satisfying ending. I hoped she would have a positive response to coming and sharing her story with us and thankfully she did! Because this episode is so focused on healing the body, I'd also like to acknowledge that Nadia is Direct Light Determination, Smell Cognition, and Narrow Valleys Environment. Tune in to hear how Nadia managed to reclaim her authority from the health industry and took her healing into her own skilled hands.

On Wednesday this week the former Green party co-leader James Shaw will address parliament as an MP for the last time. And in a moment when his party is reeling from a combination of scandal and tragedy, his valedictory marks the end of an undervalued career.   Many of the politicians who join our so-called minor parties are idealists. They're not like some Labour or National MPs (more than a few of whom I reckon secretly dream of becoming Prime Minister). They join because they really intensely believe in the political philosophy or kaupapa. And in the case of the Greens, it's my view that sometimes activism comes at the expense of more pragmatic strategy.   Ahead of his valedictory address, I went back and looked up James Shaw's maiden speech in parliament from back in 2014.   What stuck out to me was how much he talked about overcoming political divisions and tribalism, working together, reaching across the aisle to make connections and compromises with politicians in different parties.   That might sound like bland political speak, but actually, politicians in New Zealand don't talk about compromise all that much. In the U.S, Republicans and Democrats often talk about working across the aisle —even if that's bollocks, these days— but the way New Zealand's system is structured, usually the only compromise we see for really big legislation is between coalition or support partners in government together.   As an MP, James Shaw did not achieve everything he wanted. Our biggest-emitting industry doesn't pay for its emissions. Tax reform never got done. But it's interesting to reflect on what big legacy changes have and haven't survived the change of government.   The Māori Health Authority, Three Waters, Auckland Light Rail, Te Pūkenga, the Oil and Gas ban; so much of the last Labour government's policy and work programme has been scrapped.   But one big piece of work has endured. Despite ACT's continued opposition, the Zero Carbon Act has survived the change in government.   Why? I'd suggest a major part of the reason is the way James Shaw went about crafting that legislation. He didn't charge ahead by himself. He very deliberately worked across the aisle. He developed a close relationship with National's then-climate spokesperson Todd Muller and worked to gain the support of every MP in parliament, but one. The whole purpose of the legislation was that it would survive the changing winds and ups-and-downs of politics over time. And here we are.   I think there's a good argument to be made that the single most significant piece of enduring legislation from Jacinda Ardern's time in government, was a piece of work developed by an MP who wasn't even in her party or Cabinet.   The Zero Carbon Act is a victory for compromise. A victory for putting aside differences and uniting around common goals. And although James Shaw's style and strategy may not have always have been appreciated by everyone in his own party, the result speaks for itself. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Friday is the Government's 100th day and the Prime Minister is confident they have completed their 49-point to-do list. The items ranged from introducing legislation, like Thursday's fast track consenting bill, to stopping work on initiatives driven by the previous Government. Twenty-one of the 49 items promised to "begin work" on a project, a broad term that is hard to measure. And four laws were passed with no public input, despite only introduction being signalled under the plan. These include disestablishing the Māori Health Authority, repealing Three Waters and reinstating 90-day trial periods. Massey University political professor Richard Shaw spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Christopher Luxon can't catch a break. His prime ministerial house is shabby. His prime ministerial plane is borked. But, ask Toby Manhire, Annabelle Lee-Mather and Ben Thomas, how foreseeable was the blowback to his decision to take the $52k accommodation allowance to stay in his own mortgage-free Wellington apartment, how tin-eared was it to declare, repeatedly, that he was entitled to his entitlements, thank you very much, and the swift talkback-driven U-turn? It came hot on the heels of a whiplash week in parliament, with legislation to bin the Māori Health Authority, roll back smokefree legislation and unban pseudoephedrine. Is the government stretching the use of urgency to its legitimate limit?

He just needs to be right.    Trump: 6/10  Won South Carolina, won Michigan and the Supreme Court will hear his immunity case.    Ginny Andersen: 6/10  Apologised on this station twice and both times I judged with genuine sincerity. An apology puts a lot of stuff right.    Newshub: 3/10  A mixture of sadness tinged with writing on the wall. It wasn't the surprise some made it out to be.    NCEA: 2/10  More results of more people failing and that's a massive social and moral stain on this country and its future.    The Māori Health Authority: 6/10  Gone and good riddance. Race-based policy is racist, divisive and destructive.    Gang patches: 6/10  A simple and demonstrative part of an overall approach that is six years overdue.    Stuart Nash: 8/10  Truth bomber of the week.    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government is taking the first steps towards dismantling the Māori Health Authority. A Bill to bring about its end will pass under urgency tonight, with the Authority being scrapped for good by June 30. ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says Minister Shane Reti has claimed axing the Authority will improve healthcare for all New Zealanders.

The Government will introduce the bill repealing the Māori Health Authority under urgency on Tuesday. This comes days before an urgent Waitangi Tribunal inquiry into the move, which kicks off on Thursday. Lead claimant Lady Tureiti Moxon spoke to Morning Report.

The obstetrics unit at James Paton Memorial Hospital in Gander has still not reopened for deliveries. The provincial health minister announced last February that the unit will reopen, but locals want to know what's taking so long. Hear from N.L. Health Services CEO David Diamond, and maternity services advocate Samantha Abbott.

I was wondering how long it would take, given what we have seen this week at Waitangi.  ACT have launched a campaign to outline some facts on their Treaty Principles Bill.  They have done this because, like most of these sort of debates, what you start out with by way of an idea very quickly turns into something else, due largely to those who oppose it and start to spread the misinformation.  The Treaty Principles Bill has turned into, if you listen to those who don't want it, a law to rewrite the Treaty, trash the Treaty, change the Treaty, strip rights away from Māori and so it goes.  The original idea was a referendum. We listen, we debate, we vote.  What is being pointed out in this campaign is that what we started with i.e. the same rights and duties for all New Zealanders, has been over the past few decades twisted into a series of ideas, not to mention laws, that somehow leaves us with a system whereby Māori, because they are Māori, get things non-Māori don't.  That, in simple terms, is not what was signed up to.  The Māori Health Authority, and its future for example, will be part of a Waitangi Tribunal case.  Firstly, the tribunal has no teeth, and they don't make law.  Secondly, the Māori Health Authority is, comparatively speaking, brand new and is a good example of what ACT argue.  The Treaty wanted all New Zealanders to have equal access to healthcare, and we do. Healthcare does not discriminate on race.  But a Māori Health Authority is a race-based organisation.  The interpretation of the Treaty has become an industry. The simplicity of a 200-year-old document has turned into an exercise in minutiae, with outworkings that may or may not have anything to do with the original intention.  And that is all ACT want to do - debate it, not rewrite it.  You could argue that if this goes nowhere it's a lot of energy for nothing, especially given the state the country is in elsewhere. But as the Curia poll showed, 60% of us broadly like the idea.  I think ACT are onto something. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From tent cities in St. John's to waiting lists in Corner Brook, signs of the housing crisis are all around us. When the provincial government attempted to address the shortage of health care workers by bringing in locum doctors and travel nurses, it added to the problem. The province's health authority is paying top dollar for rentals to house temporary staff. Meanwhile, families and people on low incomes say they are being priced out of the market. The CBC's Leigh Anne Power has been looking into the story.

Thousands of protestors took to the motorways December 5th, in protest against the recent policies announced by the new government. ACT Party leader David Seymour critiscised these actions, calling the tuesday events "diverse theatrics". On our weekly catch up with the ACT Party, Lou spoke to Simon Court about David Seymour's response to the hikoi, and ACT's stance on the policies announced, such as the scrapping of the Māori Health Authority, restoring referendums for Māori wards and minimising Māori language use in public services. Lou then enquired about ACT renewing their call for the removal of the Human Rights Commission as well as alternative measures proposed to safeguard and promote human rights in New Zealand.  Finally, Lou enquired about ACT's stance towards the climate change issues following Aotearoa's new climate minister participating in COP28, 2023's United Nations Climate Change Conference held at Expo City, Dubai.  

Demonstrations are to set begin across the North Island Tuesday morning in response to Te Pāti Māori's call for iwi to unite for a National Māori Action Day - or Toitu Te Tiriti - ahead of Tuesday's swearing in of MPs at Parliament. In what the party is describing as a "first hitout" objecting to the new government's plan to remove te reo from the names of government departments, abolish the Māori Health Authority, repealing the smokefree legislation, and review of all legislation that includes Treaty principles. Protestors are expected to gather at multiple locations across Te Ika-a-Māui by 7am Tuesday. Police are warning commuters in Auckland and Wellington in particular to expect significant delays. Te Pāti Māori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Tangata whenua are protesting across 20 centres Tuesday morning in a National Action Day with the backing of Te Pāti Māori. They plan to disrupt traffic in multiple locations and are calling for the new government to honour Te Tiriti, respect the Māori language, keep the Māori Health Authority and ensure a smoke free New Zealand. Lady Tureiti Moxon is taking part in the action in Hamilton.  She says she's angry about plans to remove te reo from the names of government departments, abolish the Māori Health Authority and review of all legislation that includes Treaty principles. All of which she says are anti-Māori. Moxon spoke to Corin Dann.

Tangata whenua are taking to the streets Tuesday morning to protest against what they see as a change of attitude from the new Government- which they describe as "anti-Māori" The coalition agreement includes removing te reo from the names of government departments, a review of all legislation that includes Treaty principles, and abolishing the Māori Health Authority. But Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says the government is just getting started, and they are committed to positive outcomes for Māori. Minister for Māori Development Tama Potaka spoke to Corin Dann.

The new Health Minister is vowing not to undertake major structural change to the health system, with the exception of disestablishing the Māori Health Authority.  The health system reforms, including the scrapping of the 20 DHBs and replacing them with Te Whatu Ora, was widely criticised by National in Opposition.  Shane Reti told Mike Hosking that the sector is tired.  He says the College of GPs have told him if he makes major changes, they'll fight him, so there'll be a period where they stabilise things and provide a clear direction of travel.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We can dispute when the counter should have started – election night or the official results – but I suspect the waiting game will soon be forgotten as the new government is sworn in and the house sits in urgency.  At first blush, I actually think the biggest winner of the three parties is National. Perhaps you'd expect nothing less from the highest-polling party, but there's no doubt Christopher Luxon and his team were negotiating with a couple of wily, smart operators. And at the conclusion of negotiations, almost all of National's policies remain on the table. They haven't had to sacrifice their babies.  Sure, there's the foreign buyers' tax. But given the scrutiny over the projected revenue numbers during the election campaign, I'd suggest National was none too bothered to have that policy tossed upon the bonfire. They can blame Winston Peters. Give him the win. And yes, it means a gap in revenue that will need filling, but something tells me National would much prefer that than monthly updates on how much the foreign buyer tax revenue was falling short of projections.  There are some significant visable wins for NZ First: The $1.2B infrastructure fund – ka ching - the various gender and Māori language provisions, and a Covid inquiry. I think Winston Peters is a really good choice for Foreign Minister and Shane Jones is exactly where he wants to be with fisheries and regional development. NZ First will be really pleased.  I think we'll have to wait before we can properly assess the scale of ACT's wins. There will be no Treaty referendum, and if it so chooses, it'll be easy enough for the National Party to drops its support of a treaty principles bill straight after select committee. It'll be interesting to see whether scrapping the Māori Health Authority, co-governance provisions, and changing various Māori names might take some of the heat out of that issue for the time being.  Compared to NZ First, ACT has certainly taken on less-flashy ministerial positions. And again, we probably won't be able to assess the true impact of the deal until we see how much regulation David Seymour can cut as the new minister, or how much Brooke van Velden can shake up workplace relations, or exactly what the new Arms Act will look like. In ACT's coalition deal, it struck me that in many areas there are less concrete commitments, but that perhaps those commitments cover broader areas. The words explore, examine, and consider are sprinkled throughout the document. Listen to this, for example:  In consultation with the relevant Minister, carry out regulation sector reviews, which could include the primary industries, the finance sector, early childhood education, and healthcare occupational licensing, in each case producing an omnibus bill for regulatory reform of laws affecting the sector. Maybe I'm being a bit of a bush lawyer here, but that theoretically has the potential to be enormously consequential. It also has the potential to change basically nothing. They haven't even agreed with certainty what sectors will be reviewed.  From Christopher Luxon's perspective, I thought the Deputy Prime Minister split was a pretty elegant solution. But the real test of a coalition is not the detail in the deal, but the behaviour of the parties and the management of relationships when inevitably they disagree. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The clock is about to be wound back on Labour's Māori health initiative despite pleas that it should be given more time to prove its worth.

The Tuesday Wire team is joined by Davide Mercadante for Dear Science. The team discusses honesty migration drain, the false probability of coin flips and a new enzyme that fights against viruses and mutations. Nicholas catches up with the National Party's Dr Shane Reti about the election results, National's healthcare priorities, the disestablishment of Te Aka Whai Ora (The Māori Health Authority) and their potential coalition partners, the ACT party. Nicholas also spoke to Dr Carwyn Jones, an expert in Treaty of Waitangi law and legislation about the facts surrounding the legal obligations set out in Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the referendum on Treaty principals that was proposed by the ACT Party.  Lou spoke to Julie Douglas from the Tertiary Education Union about the state of University funding.  They also spoke to Ananish Chaudhuri, Professor of Experimental Economics at the University of Auckland in regards to the ongoing Google Antitrust lawsuit. Josh spoke to Timothy Welch about Nationals plan to scrap the clean car rebate scheme.

Māori health services are waiting nervously to see what will happen to the independent Māori Health Authority after the election, with both National and ACT pledging to scrap it if they get into Government. They say it's too early to pull the plug on Te Aka Whai Ora which is starting to make real change. Ruth Hill reports.

A group representing 45 health-related NGOs and 75 individual public health academics and professionals says scrapping Te Aka Whai Ora, the Māori Health Authority, would pose a grave threat to Māori health and wellbeing. Health Coalition Aotearoa, which works to reduce the harm from tobacco, alcohol and unhealthy food, is calling on all political parties to keep Te Aka Whai Ora as a Māori-led, independent Crown agency. National, ACT and NZ First have all promised to disestablish the organisation.  Te Aka Whai Ora board member Grant Berghan spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The health workforce has been mostly positive about the Government's six-point plan to increase its staffing numbers. But there is scant information on how long it will take to roll out or when it begins. Te Whatu Ora data shows a need to recruit or train another 1600 health professionals a year to maintain current staffing levels relative to population growth. Māori Health Authority chief clinical officer allied health Carlton Irving spoke to Corin Dann.

The National Party is accusing the government of hiding the results of a review of the Maori Health Authority, Te Aka Whai Ora. Health Minister Ayesha Verrall received the report six weeks ago, and says she's still digesting the findings. She won't say exactly when it will be released, and she declined our request for an interview. National's health spokesperson Shane Reti tried to access the report through the Official Information Act, but his request was denied. He spoke to Morning Report.

We begin with the deadly winter storm that gave much of the country a freezing cold Christmas. The bomb cyclone is blamed for at least 38 deaths in 7 states. More than 60,000 utility customers are still without power, and some areas got record amounts of snow. Russia's military says it shot down a Ukrainian drone over an air base deep inside Russia overnight, and 3 Russian soldiers were killed by falling debris. In China, where new COVID infections are soaring, the country's top health authority says it will no longer publish daily case numbers. Authorities in Zhuh-Zhang province report 1 million new infections a day, and that number is expected to double in the coming days. Retailers expect about 18% or $158 billion of merchandise sold during the holiday shopping season to be returned. But this year many retailers are making changes to their return policy that could make it more difficult and costly for the consumer. Actor Peter Billingsley known for playing, "Ralphie" from the 1983 holiday classic "A Christmas Story," shares the unexpected turns his life has taken.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
