Background.
The latest alcohol data from Police indicate that Maori account for 41.5% of WBOP EBA prosecutions and 43% of WBOP road deaths. ( Maori represent only 16% of the WBOP population)

Programme.
Target Group
The target group is the older driver,( 55 plus) however attendance by  Rangatahi would be important and beneficial. It is proposed to present a 1 hour (or time dependent on Hauora ) presentation to the Hauora

This would involve the main speaker, Tamati Paul ( a survivor/victim of a drunk driver)
Question and discussion time with Tamati, an important part of the presentation.
Other people involved in the discussion may be Gregory Clark( Iwi Liaison Office) and possibly Monique Edwards-Shipton.
