The Ministry of Health welcomes recommendations made by the Chief Ombudsman in a report around the care available for people with an intellectual disability.
The Ombudsman has been investigating the High and Complex Framework since early 2019.
The investigation centred primarily on the shortage of specialist hospital accommodation and the conditions in which some people are being accommodated.
“We accept the Ombudsman’s recommendations in this report,” says the Ministry’s Director-General of Health, Dr Ashley Bloomfield.
