A new, independent redress system for survivors of abuse in state care will be created following the release of a damning report.
A Royal Commission of Inquiry interim report has highlighted what it describes as appalling treatment of survivors when they made requests for compensation.
Numerous cases of abuse would be systematically "downplayed, dismissed or disbelieved", according to the 500-page report - which makes 95 recommendations.
Public Service Minister Chris Hipkins labelled the decades of failure to properly provide redress a "national disgrace".
Royal Commission of Inquiry chair Coral Shaw spoke to Corin Dann.
