Call For Resignation of ACC’s Senior Medical Advisor

Media release on behalf of Acclaim Otago (Inc)

“If the ACC is to retain credibility, Peter Jansen needs to resign,” said Denise Powell, spokesperson for Acclaim Otago.

“Acclaim Otago has absolutely no confidence in a senior medical advisor who is closely associated with the sensitive claim pathway fiasco of last year. In our opinion he has clearly demonstrated his extremely poor decision making skills and there is an obvious lack of understanding or empathy with survivors of sexual abuse.”

“We call for Peter Jansen’s immediate resignation, anything less will make a mockery of ACC’s genuine attempts to correct the mistakes made with the hasty and ill advised introduction of the Sensitive Claims Pathway led by Jansen.”
