Handicapped Children
Sir,—Parents of handicapped children are seeking exemption from death duties, it is reported from their conference in Whangarei. There are various types of handicapped children and adults who have not the necessary protection of their rights (apart from insane persons) to domiciliary care, if for any reason parental home attention is not compatible with crippling infirmity. There is no provision in our province, apparently, for housing those unfortunately unable to fend for themselves when relatives are ill, or too old to continue the lifting of such cases after life-long physical strain, or upon their death. Should there not be a hostel where temporary board for the handicapped might allow mothers to recuperate by a month’s freedom annually to rest from their burden?— Yours, etc., CIVIC PROGRESS. - April 24. 1961.
