Early July 2010, a meeting was arranged with Minister Tariana Turia and the ADPN Executive. However, owing to circumstances beyond her control, the Minister was unable to attend. Instead, the Minister was represented by Dr. Jan Scown, Office for Disability Issues, Trish Davies and Marsha Marshall, both of the Ministry of Health. The Minister sent written responses to questions that had been asked prior to the meeting and these may be read by clicking on the following Whanau Ora and ADPN-Q+ A-from-Tariana-Turia-July-10

The latest umbrella organisation for disability service providers to be launched is NZ Disability Support Network Inc (NZDSN). It has similar aims to ADPN, but works as a national organisation. The newly appointed CEO of NZDSN, Sandie Waddell, will be speaking at our next meeting on Thursday 29th July 2010 about the organisation and its function. We will also hold our AGM at the same meeting.
It is important that a strong bond is established between the two organisations, so we urge you to attend. The disability sector must work together if we are to achieve better conditions for the people we serve.
Come and meet Sandie and members of the ADPN Executive who work to represent our members, aiming for “an inclusive future”
