It is very strange that WDHB states they have no information about children with disabilities. Their website clearly has a page titled: Disability Support Services (DSS) 0 to 65. "Disability Support Services (DSS) is part of Disability Support Link (DSL), a Needs Assessment and Service Coordination (NASC) service for persons from birth to 65 years."

Maybe they just don't assist Maori children?
