Eleven year old
Olivia MacDonald, who was injured in a motorcycle accident
in South Canterbury yesterday, remains in a critical
condition in the Intensive Care Unit at Christchurch
Hospital. There has been some inaccurate reporting of her
condition today and I would ask all media responsible to
quickly correct it. As usual, if you require information
about patients at Christchurch Hospital or any CDHB
hospitals, please give me a call. Olivia’s family do not
wish to speak to the media at the
moment.
