Ew I should not have read that before breakfast I feel nauseated

I don't think that response will stack up if this is brought to the ombudsman, as the OIA request relates to the phone calls not to the social media post.

Omg whaaaaaat?!

This is literally the thought process that resulted in us moving just off Karangahape Road to be honest.

General Practice, primary care, and Primary Health Care aren't interchangeable terms either btw. They're each very specific things, and I'll only advocate around Primary Health Care.

In this current system tax money will just increasingly end up in the hands of shareholders. I really don't think people understand our primary care system is centered on private business and for profit organizations.

In line with this, I say on a jury for a murder-manslaughter case once, during which we heard the police arrived on scene while the injured mad was still breathing, they called an ambulance, provided ZERO first aid, 11 minutes later the ambulance arrived to a fatality.

Uhm, what? What part of DRS ABC that cops get trained in it "leave an unconscious man attended to give a motorcyclist a ticket"

When I arrived near the unconscious man the two who had got to him first were already on the phone to call an ambulance and asked if I could ask the police for assistance. I ran back and the cops said "oh yeah we saw him and called and ambulance already"

Yup there's loads of coverage quirks. Some school nurses are public health nurses employed by te Whatu ora and covered by PSA, but it varies dramatically.

Despite teachers and nurses unions both striking today, school nurses didn't have that option.

To be fair, we don't actually have vaccines mandates in New Zealand for school aged kids 😬
