Matt Doocey: ACC Minister on increasing levies and new independent review - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

The ACC Minister has announced a independent review into ACC because of concerns about its performance. 

Matt Doocey says rehabilitation rates are down and weekly compensation costs and average costs per claim were up.

“This review will have a particular focus on claims management. It will look at whether ACC has the right interventions and settings in place to support accident claimants to return to independence as quickly as possible".

It comes as ACC announces levies will be on the rise from next year with those on the median wage of $70,000 set to pay $140 extra in 3 years time.
