People continue to come
forward alleging abuse and mistreatment by psychiatric hospital staff at
Porirua and other hospitals. Wellington lawyer Roger
Chapman, with lawyer Sonja Cooper, is spearheading action against the Crown
on behalf of those claiming physical, emotional and sexual abuse at the
hospitals in the 1960s and 1970s. He said more than 300
people had come forward and that number was climbing.
