It hardly seems like eight months ago most of you signed an online petition, and as a result of all your signatures and the concerted efforts of many, we were promised an independent clinical review of the New Treatment Pathway for Sensitive Claims.
Well the day has finally arrived, and the Independent Review Panel has put the open sign up on their front door, and opened shop. And I thought I might make it easy for the New Zealand public to make submissions. Simply chose your preferred difficulty level (Easy, Medium, Hard and “Snail Mail”) from below and follow the simple steps.
