Cataract surgery

Hi Penny. I'm Bruce Munro, a news feature writer with the Otago Daily Times. I'm doing a piece on health funding in New Zealand, looking at unmet need and delayed treatment. I want to include details of several people's stories from throughout the country, including Dulcie's, to help readers grasp the enormity of the need and the impact it has in real lives. It also seems that sites like give a little have become an alternative source of funding for health in this country. The info on the page gives me most of what I need, but I would like to understand a little more about why Dulcie can't get new glasses in the meantime - is getting two pairs over a short period something she cannot afford? My email is bruce.munro@odt.co.nz and mob is 027 676 4610. Many thanks.
