26479 (2010). Lynne Pillay to the Minister for ACC: Will ACC be contacting those people declined cover under the new clinical pathway introduced on 27 October 2009 to offer them 16 hours of counselling as per the media statement of 11 August 2010?
Hon Dr Nick Smith (Minister for ACC) replied: ACC has contacted all clients with a new claim already lodged, but still awaiting a decision, to advise them of the 16 hours of support and how to access them. ACC is still working through a number of details which are yet to be finalised with regard to this support. These details include what support will be available for people whose sensitive claim has previously been declined or reactivated. ACC is working closely with the sector via the Sensitive Claims Group (SCG) to determine an appropriate approach to this issue. ACC next meets with the SCG on 8 September 2010 and the resolution of this issue is a priority item on the agenda for that meeting.
