Ruth's ACC contribution will be missed - Cullen
Minister for Accident Insurance Michael Cullen today put on record his gratitude to Ruth Dyson for her "sterling contribution" to the Government's ACC reforms.
"Ruth is strongly committed to rebuilding and emphasising the original ACC focus on rehabilitation and accident prevention.
"She brought that commitment to her role as associate minister in developing the new ACC legislation to be introduced into Parliament before Christmas.
"Her mistake does not obliterate the competence
and care she brought to ACC and to her other portfolios. I
look forward to Ruth's continuing assistance in implementing
the Government's ACC reform programme," Dr Cullen said.
