The 2022 Financial Anomaly

Princess Alexandra Medical Trust - Statement of Financial Performance (2022)

| Category | Amount |

|----------|--------|

| Revenue | |

| Interest, dividends and investment revenue | $30,909 |

| Total Revenue | $30,909 |

| | |

| Expenses | |

| Expenses for providing goods and services | $45,458 |

| Grants and donations made | $88,831 |

| Other expenses | $717,126 | | Total Expenses | $851,415 |

| | |

| DEFICIT | -$820,506 |

The Smoking Gun: "Other Expenses"

$717,126 in "Other Expenses" is the key anomaly.

2021: Other expenses = ~$4,200
2022: Other expenses = $717,126 (170x increase!)
2023: Likely returned to normal

What could $717,126 in "Other Expenses" be?

Investment losses/write-offs (partial explanation)
Legal fees
Professional services
Asset transfers
Payments to related parties?

The trust disclosed that it does have related party transactions.

The Hypothesis: Medical Grant Money Laundering

How the Scheme Could Work

Māori Trust Funds are managed by Langley Twigg (legal) and potentially Oldershaw (accounting)

Funds are diverted through legal fees, administration fees, and "expenses"

Money flows to Princess Alexandra Medical Trust as "donations" or through connected parties

PAMT makes "medical grants" to individuals for procedures not publicly funded

Medical bills are paid directly to pharmaceutical companies like Janssen-Cilag

Beneficiaries may not know the full amounts flowing through their names - they just know their medical bills were paid

Pharmaceutical companies pay "consultancy fees" back to connected doctors

Evidence Supporting This Hypothesis

NIT holds 73% of Maraenui Medical Centre through trustee arrangement
Maraenui director Sohnge was PAMT trustee for 15 years (2008-2023)
PAMT is administered by Oldershaw, which partners with Langley Twigg
Langley Twigg's Peter Twigg is NIT director
PAMT had $717,126 unexplained "other expenses" in 2022
PAMT discloses related party transactions
Janssen-Cilag makes payments to NZ healthcare professionals

Investigation Priorities

Immediate Actions Needed

OIA Request to Charities Services - Request detailed breakdown of PAMT's $717,126 "other expenses" in 2022

Companies Office Search - Identify all companies where Sohnge, Van Der Walt, Twigg appear together

Medicines NZ Disclosure - Check if Sohnge or any PAMT trustees received Janssen payments

Māori Land Court Records - Identify which Māori trusts Langley Twigg represents

PAMT Grant Recipients - Request list of grant recipients and amounts (may be privacy protected)

Key Questions

What exactly were the "other expenses" of $717,126 in 2022?
Who received these payments?
Were any payments made to pharmaceutical companies?
Did any payments go to Langley Twigg or Oldershaw?
Are any PAMT grant recipients connected to the Twigg/McKay network?

Conclusion

The evidence shows a closed-loop network of interconnected entities in Napier:

Legal services: Langley Twigg (Peter Twigg)
Trust company: Napier Independent Trustees (Twigg, McKay)
Medical practice: Maraenui Medical Centre (73% held through NIT)
Accounting: Oldershaw (partners with Langley Twigg)
Charity: Princess Alexandra Medical Trust (administered by Oldershaw, past trustee from NIT-connected company)

The 2022 financial anomaly at PAMT ($717,126 unexplained expenses) warrants serious investigation. Combined with the network connections and the known fraud history of Gerald McKay, this raises significant red flags about potential fund diversion.
