This happened over 5 years ago and Trevor has slowly declined since, he is no longer able to work and needs carers daily. His wife Kylie is his main carer.

The case was referred to the Human Rights Review Tribunal and Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora was found that they failed Trevor by failing to provide services with reasonable care and skill, and failing to provide services in a manner that minimised potential harm to, and optimised the quality of life.

Unfortunately due to this tragic incident the Flood family have been left to pick up the pieces and Trevor will need ongoing care for the rest of his life.
