ACC VIP details sought

A news report from Radio New Zealand
A lawyer for ACC claimants is seeking more details of what advantages are reportedly given to VIPs.
Acclaim Otago has complained that higher-status decision makers and greater privacy are offered to VIPs than to the majority of ACC applicants.
According to leaked material, judges, Members of Parliament, the Governor General and members of the ACC Board have a special category in an ACC manual.
The manual reportedly says decisions for the claimants should be made by an ACC manager, not a case worker.
ACC was unable to comment on Monday night but earlier reports said ACC felt VIPs needed more privacy for security reasons, especially for judges.
