NACT1st has deliberately allowed our healthcare sector to become understaffed. . #NZpol #Listener #cartoon
Patient: "I WAS FORCED TO GO TO WORK EVEN WHEN I WAS SICK."
Cartoon depicts a scene in a crowded hospital where a nurse is pushing a very sick patient. Both appear ill.

Patient: "I WAS FORCED TO GO TO WORK EVEN WHEN I WAS SICK."
Nurse: "SAME."

Refers to a RNZ report : "Some nurses working in the emergency department at Auckland's Middlemore Hospital say they have been asked to come to work despite calling in sick.
They say they have repeatedly raised concerns with management about the pressure on staff over the past two months, but little has changed."

One of the important things to remember - despite the noise from the sector - is how insignificant the forestry industry really is. Let's start with the fact that forestry and logging is only 6.9% of Tairāwhiti's GDP and only employs 565 people [A short thread] #nzpol
