Doctors fear law change would gag healthworkers from speaking out

“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. … Who will really benefit from an influx of government money into the private system - patients in need of vital healthcare or business owners?” Vital question to ask👇

Health NZ says it is about creating more "flexible" job options - but the country's biggest nurses' union accuses it of cost-cutting and "gaming the numbers".

ICYMI (there’s a lot of News, deliberately so), it’s the last chance on Monday to submit on the abysmal Healthy Futures (Pae Ora) Amendment Bill which opens the door to priviatisation, removes equity, undermines Te Tiriti, gives Minister Simeon Brown more power and ultimately is Very Bad For NZ 👇
