https://www.whaikaha.govt.nz/news-and-events/news/whaikaha-purchasing-rules-and-equipment-and-modification-services-ems-update

"Whaikaha – Ministry of Disabled People is making changes to its Purchasing Rules and Equipment and Modification Services (EMS).

This is to manage increasing demand while Whaikaha works with disabled people and tāngata whaikaha Māori on medium and long-term plans on how to retain as much flexibility as possible.

This means Whaikaha is having to make some careful decisions. We understand that these changes may be difficult for recipients of funding and the disability community."
