A poweful piece from Dame Anne, with some choice quotes from hypocrites @JudithCollinsMP, @NicolaWillisMP & @EricaStanfordMP
Clearly the ACT coup is now in full effect ...
Women, Maori, Pasifika, youth & any men with brains 🙄 must fight back! #nzpol

@UnitedKiwi@GaryPayinda Oh we have plenty of solutions & most of us work very hard to achieve good outcomes one patient at a time - anything else requires more money and managerial approval.
@GodsPaNZ@GaryPayinda ‘Most’ private providers are in surgical or procedural specialties (such as cardiology or gastro). There are in fact a large number of medical specialists who only work in public
@drayeshaverrall@NatlClownshow I’m so bloody outraged by this - the sentiment, the calling our amazing public health colleagues (& doctors in general) ‘muppets’, the petty minded interference. I’d like to to say I have no words, but alas 🤷♀️
@salty_kiwi@KyleDChurch Working in frontline health, I’d like to see us working towards a long term bipartisanship health plan- we can build an amazing health system, but this constant (& expensive) shifting of the goal posts is helping no one
@goodlobster1@DrRawiri “DEI” targets help ensure that the best person does get the job, instead of a lesser qualified white middle class male. Maybe check your privilege
@SimeonBrownMP After 30 years working in public hospitals I can tell you that ED 6hr targets don’t work. You would know this if you had really listened to what we are telling you. If you want to improve access then properly fund primary care & build Hospitals that meet current & future needs
Our health system is "dire", "beyond crisis", "systemically inequitable", with worse outcomes for entire groups of people.
We asked organisations representing tens of thousands of health workers, what they wanted to say to the new Health Minister...

Does anyone know why shoplifting warrants days on end of wall to wall headline coverage, while paedophilia warrants one story that's quickly dropped to page 50? Asking for a friend @NZStuff@radionz@TVNZ@NewshubPolitics@NewstalkZB
