Public healthcare is a crucial component for the well-being of any society, today and future. We will not sit by and watch as public health services needed to care for Kiwis’ health continue to deteriorate from lack of funding and resources!
Remember #nzpol the nurses are also protesting for safe staffing levels and not only a payrise

OPINION: Nurse leaders with direct accountability for patient safety are being silenced by organisational policy.

Once again HNZ isn't publishing the data. If Simeon wants praise we need to see more transparency from HNZ, especially around use of taxpayer money.

“Private care does not "free up a bed" because the same limited pool of doctors and nurses work in private as well as public care.

Health NZ sure like to focus on the pay rise and not the others things nurses are protesting for. Like safe staffing levels and staff safety #nzpol
