Barry Soper: Giving Abuse in Care victims financial redress will take time

The Prime Minister says complexity has slowed the delivery of redress for Abuse in Care survivors, not cost. 

Chris Luxon will apologise in Parliament tomorrow, after a Royal Commission report cast light on decades of harm in state and faith-based institutions.

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says delivering financial redress for survivors will take more time.
