Disability Survivor on Hidden Horrors of State Care | The Hui 2024

The dark and hidden history of disability care services in Aotearoa came to light during the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care. Gary Williams, who has cerebral palsy, was a patient at Pukeora Hospital from the age of thirteen, one of four psychopaedic "training hospitals" run by the Mental Health Division of the Department of Health including Kimberley in Levin, Templeton near Christchurch and Braemar in Nelson, featured in the 1964 documentary One in a Thousand. Patients at these hospital were called mentally subnormal. With the Government receiving the inquiry’s recommendations and findings - Gary speaks to The Hui about his challenge to the government when it comes to redress and to ensuring the voice of disabled survivors isn’t forgotten. ➡️ SUBSCRIBE: / @thehuinewzealand
