"How is it possible that that is happening when you have these sites of education scattered throughout our territory and we continue to have this problem? Are those school properties private to the Crown? Is the Crown interested in contemplating another education system in play? But a year ago the Tuhoe tribal entity built their own clinic in Taneatua which now has a doctor, two nurses and 884 enrolled patients, including more than 500 who were not enrolled with a doctor before. The hauora does not have a medical clinic. "So from our point of view this has worked really, really well." Police regional youth manager Sergeant Tom Brooks says 49 per cent of families in the scheme never come to police attention again. Everyone in this household has to make some changes.'"
