Yet another Oranga Tamariki review- this time, of youth justice and care residences.

The report led by Mike Bush suggests high-level change to make residences safer for young people and staff.

In it, staff say they're too bureaucratic, short on beds, and there are too many band-aid fixes.

Bush says he's aware there's 'review fatigue'.

"They are swimming in recommendations and have been for many years. I've been involved in some of those former reviews, I'm determined, like the leadership and the good people of Oranga Tamariki - of which there are many - to make this the best possible place."
