Private hospital outsourcing plan: 16,000 procedures before end of June The government has exceeded the first target of the Elective Boost programme by more than 50 percent.

Once again HNZ isn't publishing the data. If Simeon wants praise we need to see more transparency from HNZ, especially around use of taxpayer money.

Health NZ apologises to nurses' union after Ombudsman's scolding "We acknowledge that refusing this request was not appropriate and may have contributed to delays in the important work you are undertaking on behalf of our kaimahi."

Everyone with a sibling knows what an apology means when it only comes after someone has been told off #nzpol

This was a core point of not only our Pae Ora submission but many others' as well #nzpol

Kia kaha to all our healthcare workers on strike today #nzpol

Health minister leaves message for nurses striking outside his office More than 36,000 nurses are walking off the job in a pay dispute, and Simeon Brown had a message for them.

And how many surgeries and appointments get disrupted/pushed back due to inadequate staffing levels? #nzpol

Health NZ be like

Health NZ 'unaware' nurses wanted three percent pay increase Nurses are going on strike again, after nearly a year of deadlocked negotiations.

Health NZ sure like to focus on the pay rise and not the others things nurses are protesting for. Like safe staffing levels and staff safety #nzpol

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.

No refugee underfunded a school.

No refugee closed a hospital.

No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.

We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

Health NZ under fire for secrecy over private hospital contracts The public deserve answers says a hospital trust chair says, as Health NZ refuses to say how much it's paying.

This is why we need to stand up for our public health system. We need to stop it going down this slippery slope that ends in a health system like the US #nzpol

Yeah, it's an app

Kia ora koutou whanau. Our wonderful Ali was on the latest episode of @garypayinda.bsky.social's The Frontline (youtu.be/MaH4GUyghXI?...) talking about the Pae Ora Amendment Bill and what it means. Go give the episode some love ❤️ #nzpol

Sick!

Is that the human pet guy?

The Minister of Finance and the Treasury released its Half Year Economic and Fiscal Update today, and with it – its ‘plan’ for the Budget in 2025 in the Budget Policy Statement. The indicators show very clearly that it’s not working for anyone. A long thread (apologies) #nzpol
