Bay of Plenty MP and Health Minister Tony Ryall has expressed his sympathy to the family of Brian and Grace Johnston who were killed in a bus accident in Kenya this week. Grace and Brian were active and well liked members of the Bay of Plenty community and they will be sorely missed.
I pay tribute to Brian Johnston’s long and dedicated service to Bay of Plenty health services – yesterday would have been his 26th anniversary at Bay of Plenty District Health Board. Brian was well liked and widely respected and he made a significant contribution at both Tauranga and Whakatane hospitals. His passing is a great loss. Mr Ryall also extends his sympathy to the family of Caitlin Dickson who lost her life in the Kenyan bus crash.
