Black Power member Denis O Reilly talks about what went wrong with the CART meth programme.
A $1m scheme to get gangsters off meth collapsed amid internal dissent over treatment methods, staff turnover and concerns that few people were being helped. Tony Wall reports. In February 2018, Florence Leota, a senior advisor in the Ministry of Health s addictions treatment team, emailed her boss, group manager for addiction Richard Taylor, over concerns about a programme to get predominantly Black Power gang members off methamphetamine. The programme, called Wakatika Ora, was being run by the Consultancy Advocacy and Research Trust (CART) – a social action group with a long history of working with gang communities, using a $920,000 grant from money seized under proceeds of crime legislation.
