This. Lester Levy was given license to assemble a hit squad to decimate the health system even further, to be able to manufacture multiple crises, at the cost of all New Zealanders, and sets up privatisation.

Straight out the neolib playbook.

Also very similar to the appalling treatment Americans are getting from DOGE

This is the neoliberal right. This is who they are. Of the rich, for the rich, by the rich.

Ohh noo not the *check notes* high level executives :ROFLMAO:

A number of sources have recounted that Goldsack told a finance meeting that, despite hundreds of accountants at the organisation, ‘I could cut my f***ing thumbs and fingers off and still have too many fingers to count the number of people on the call that can do accounting’.
At another meeting, sources say Goldsack told senior staff there were ‘bullets coming’ for executives, and he was firing them. Some of those executives were gone within weeks.
Newsroom has put these comments to Health NZ, asking if such language is acceptable to Dr Levy – and if not, does Goldsack still have his confidence?


Weak, mediocre bureaucrats crying because theyve been caught out. I dont see a frontline worker listed anywhere in that article.

And a continuation of your faux macho reponses Frank
 
What I find upsetting about this story is how this lady’s death will be turned into a political football by both sides of politics.

The government and their supporters will use this as an example of a “failed” hospital system under the previous government and why private hospitals should be used to reduce public waiting lists.

While the opposition, and their supporters, will say that cuts to the health system to meet cost saving targets will only lead to more outcomes like this.

And, in the meantime, a family has lost a member to something which could have been avoided. And that’s just sad.

Not sure that it will. There have been several examples of deaths from hospital waiting lists, EDs, misdiagnosed etc reported over the last year and a bit stemming from the previous 3 or 4 years prior to that. I'm sure old mate disinformationtop8 would be jumping all over it if it was from this governments term

As you know Mike I was in Tauranga hospital recently and waited all day for CTs and MRIs and Xrays and didn't get to a ward until after 10pm. No food or water was offered after I was admitted around 9am.
Medical staff as usual were brilliant and efficient
Unfortunately the toilets and bathrooms were absolutely filthy. Never seen it like that before. Rubbish bins were overflowing.
Seems like hygiene has been compromised from my experience
However that was just the one area that I was located in.

‘She broke her right femur in 2021 while walking her dog in a park and was knocked to the ground by another person’s dog.’

Sad story. Was the other dog owner charged with manslaughter? Aside from the failing hospital system, another moral of the story is control your dogs!

(Recently had an extended family member bitten by an uncontrolled dog in public)
