Documents released to the Public Service Association show Health NZ intentionally delayed recruiting frontline health workers to control spending, even while patients faced stretched services.

Briefings to Health Minister Simeon Brown revealed officials had to personally approve frontline appointments, leaving some vacancies unfilled for months.

The PSA said the delays contributed to chemotherapy shutdowns, reduced care for stroke patients and staff burnout.



Meanwhile, hospitals have been dealing with rising flu admissions, lengthy wait times and cancelled elective surgery. Health NZ denied its recruitment decisions had compromised patient safety. Read more at NZ Herald and RNZ.

  1. The fake-democracy uni-party doesn’t have anything in the health budget for humans – all the money is earmarked for big-pharma and the next big vaxx-a-thon. Get yours now, a vax a day makes a great pay-day for the “right honourable” “VIPs” and their sponsors.

    • Yesterday a white female who completed her Nursing Degree was passed-over a number of times due to third world nurses being hired in NZ , and who were only ‘certified’…they were hired over the Nursing Degree holder!!!
      She has since left for Australia…a loss of quality nursing for NZ..!
      It’s time to do an audit of both the elected and non-elected personnel in the New Zealand Government and supporting NGOs in order to see who and what owns stock & options in the Pharmaceutical Companies, as this is where these decisions to hire third world cost-saving ‘actors’ are coming from!

      I list the New Zealand Loyal Party’s highly-effective Health Policy below, so that you don’t have to..!

      New Zealand Loyal – Health Policy

      Restoring New Zealand’s Health, Wellness, and Sovereignty

      New Zealand’s healthcare system has been compromised by corrupt practices, mismanagement, and a focus on illness maintenance rather than prevention and cure. NZ Loyal is committed to restoring our healthcare system, promoting transparency and accountability, and empowering New Zealanders to take control of their physical and mental health.

      The Problem

      Our current healthcare system:

      Prioritizes pharmaceutical interests over natural health remedies
      Suppresses effective cures and treatments
      Fosters a culture of fear and dependency on medication
      Ignores the impact of environmental toxins on human health
      Overlooks the importance of mental health and wellness

      Solutions

      1. Mental Health and Wellness: NZ Loyal will prioritize mental health support, recognizing the importance of emotional and psychological well-being. This includes increasing funding for mental health services, reducing wait times, and promoting community-based initiatives.

      2. Decentralize Healthcare: Community clinics and hospitals will be established in provincial areas, providing accessible and personalized healthcare.

      3. Integrate Alternative Health Options: All alternative health practices will be considered and made available, ensuring freedom of choice for New Zealanders.

      4. Remove Pharmaceutical Influence: The healthcare system will be freed from the grip of big pharma, ensuring that medical decisions are made in the best interests of patients, not corporate profits. The theoretical basis of mental health care education and training will be switched from the outdated chemical imbalance model to the modern trauma–genic neurodevelopmental model.

      5. Position New Zealand as Mental Health Leader: Ensure that New Zealand scientific researchers and industry are positioned to take advantage of the next generation of psychiatric medicines, in particular psilocybin, MDMA and cannabinoids.

      6. Investigate and Prosecute Crimes: Those responsible for the Covid-19 response, including the disastrous jab rollout, will be held accountable through investigations, prosecutions, and asset-stripping. This includes government officials, health experts, and pharmaceutical companies.

      7. Establish a New Health Framework: A new health framework will prioritize prevention, natural health remedies, patient-centred care, and mental health support.

      8. Environmental Health: We will address the impact of environmental toxins on human health, including the removal of fluoride from water supplies, the ban of 1080 poisoning, and the promotion of organic farming practices.

      9. Transparency and Accountability: All healthcare decisions will be transparent, with clear accountability mechanisms in place. This includes the establishment of an independent health watchdog, responsible for monitoring and investigating healthcare complaints.

      A New Era for New Zealand’s Health

      NZ Loyal is committed to creating a healthcare system that truly serves the people. We will:

      Empower New Zealanders to take control of their physical and mental health
      Foster a culture of transparency, accountability, and integrity
      Promote natural health remedies, prevention, and patient-centred care
      Protect our environment and recognize its impact on human health
      Hold all accountable for disastrous health outcomes, including the Covid-19 response

      Withdrawal from the World Health Organisation

      New Zealand will withdraw from the World Health Organisation, rejecting international dictates that compromise our sovereignty and the health of our people.

      Conclusion

      NZ Loyal’s health policy is built on the principles of transparency, accountability, and empowerment. We will restore New Zealand’s healthcare system, prioritize mental health and wellness, and ensure that our people have access to effective, safe, and affordable healthcare. We will hold all accountable for disastrous health outcomes and promote a culture of wellness, prevention, and patient-centred care.

    The Uni-Party in many other governments (including the lab rat / guinea pig nation of NZ… with NZ’s Uni-Party being led by Nazional ) will do as much damage as they can before November!

  3. Up to 24 hour wait times in NZ, whereas in Australia a wait time of more than four hours raises a red flag. Cancer is “five times” more survivable in Australia than New Zealand and organ transplants typically take two years, with a clearly defined process in place, whereas here there are no clear figures on transplantation (i.e good luck with that dodgy kidney).

    We pay 15% regressive tax in the form of GST .in Australia its 10% applied only to certain items. An average worker pays more tax in NZ than AU which has a 15K or thereabouts tax free threshold. The starting salary for a graduate teacher in NSW is $90,000 dollars AUD a year. With all the tax we have in place here they still can’t finance out healthcare sector? Now Labour want more tax with a higher rate of CGT than Australia 25% vs 28% to allegedly fix a problem with the sector they can’t fix with all the money collected already and haven’t done so when they were in office.

    Small wonder people leave. Nothing here adds up anymore.

  4. Were those that Pee Wee Herman approved related to ‘influential families’ ie the Freemasons, Catholics, or families that were going back to 1840 Colonial / Provincial New Zealand?
    Perhaps the hiring processes that were personally approved by Pee Wee were from families that are considered to be the ‘Pillars of Society’ or ‘Pillars of the Community’..?
    (Note; the ‘Pillars’ are Masonic code for the two Pillars known as Jachin & Boaz…)
