  • Summary

  • The Government's being accused of having no vision for the struggling health sector.

    The Health Minister's announced $20 million dollars to hire 50 senior doctors, and $10 million for senior specialist nurses and allied health professionals.

    The Nurses Organisation says the funding is only a 0.2% increase in investment for nurses.

    Association of Salaried Medical Specialists Executive Director Sarah Dalton told Mike Hosking she doesn’t want to rain on the parade, but she doesn’t think it achieves anything.

    She says it’s disappointing, given the report released last year that states New Zealand is short by 1,700 doctors and GPs.

    Dalton says nothing that has happened since has referred to that data or tried to address it in any concrete or tangible way.
