Bob LeFridge :tinoflag:When National embarked on their deliberate destruction of NZ's health service, they promised that no front-line jobs would be affected. Yeah, right.
National lied.
Take Southland Hospital. After management pushed through a controversial 'night roster' despite knowing there weren't enough staff to fill the roles, several nurses left.
Both senior urologists left, killing prostate and bladder surgery coverage for Southland and Queenstown.
A whistleblower claims operating theatres have been temporarily shut down.
‘‘The few remaining theatre staff with any experience have burnt out and management are rapidly trying to replace them with junior and graduate nurses with no supervision.’’
National has extracted billions from NZ's health system and given it to Luxon and his fellow landlords. This is National's bright new future -- where only the wealthy will be healthy.
It's cruel and it's greedy, but hey... they're National's core values.
