Appointment of Deputy Health and Disability Commissioner – Disability
Congratulations to Tania Thomas for her re-appointment for a further term of five years and her new title as Deputy Health and Disability Commissioner – Disability.
This changed role will enable Tania to take greater responsibility for disability issues. It also means that Tania has delegations to manage all disability-related investigations and a greater input into the resolution of complaints from the disability sector that do not meet the threshold for an investigation. It also gives greater emphasis to education in the disability sector about complaints resolution. As Tania commented in a recent radio interview, she is “open for business”!
