It was undertaking a review of the incident and remained in close contact with the person’s family. Disability Support Services provides residential support for around 200 people across Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough, in more than 50 suburban homes. The homes range from one-bedroom flats to six bedroom homes and are either owned by Nelson Marlborough Health, Housing NZ or private landlords. Nelson Bays Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Johnston said police were still investigating the incident, where the resident of a care home had been run over in a driveway. A WorkSafe spokeswoman confirmed it was also investigating the incident. Kinsey said the health board was not able to comment further given those inquiries, however it was working closely with them to support their processes.

Pregnancy and Parenting Educator Kelly Mahuika says the online antenatal classes are a great success and much more beneficial than the traditional model.
Online antenatal classes are proving popular in the top of the south and the antenatal educator says there are only benefits to moving the traditional courses from classroom to couch. Before the global pandemic hit, Nelson Marlborough Health ran a five-week course with a two-hour night class but all that changed just before New Zealand went into lockdown, ending all face-to-face interaction. Pregnancy and Parenting educator Kelly Mahuika said going online has allowed her to share her knowledge without time constraints and made the course more accessible.
There was “no current timeframe for the upgrade”. “Time frames will be determined once I have been provided with advice from officials regarding the prioritisation of District Health Board capital projects,” Little said. Smith said the redevelopment would be “the largest capital project ever undertaken in Nelson” and would take “years to plan and build, which is why the development needs to get underway as soon as possible”. He said it was “unacceptable” that Nelson “would not have a functional hospital in the event of a substantial earthquake, similar to what hit Christchurch . or Kaikōura”. In April 2016 the then Nelson Marlborough District Health Board chief executive Chris Fleming estimated building would begin in “four to five years” but that time frame has almost lapsed and the third phase of a four-stage business case is yet to be presented. Costs then were estimated to be between $120m to $150m.
