Treatment for Hamish

Hamish has just come home from a month stay in Starship after failing to make consistent progress.

The family are back at home now and Hamish has started back at school for a few hours each day.

His treatment in Auckland will continue weekly.

Recently it has come to light in the media that there are two families in Northland that have received funding for their children's eating disorder treatment. We are unsure at this stage why it is not the case or everyone and all children/adolescents suffering. Or who decides which children get this while others are left to sort it out on their own and the costs and stress lumped on the families.

We endeavour to find out and challenge the DHB on this.

Thanks so much to all who have helped the family over this time, it has helped immensely to be able to take the time from work, pay the bills and mortgage and focus on Hamish 100%.
