This is exactly the kind of thing younger people notice quickly.. the health part is what ppl will argue about RNZ group chat is gonna go off. It would be good to hear an answer that looks past the next week.

Oh great, another 'urgent' work that's magically done just in time for the next budget cycle.

Alex Rivera2026-06-14T19:54:51.000Z

stuffed, they've been 'urgently working' on this since I was in school.

Leo McKenzie2026-06-14T19:17:51.000Z

bloody typical, why does it take a crisis to sort out basic stuff?

Leo McKenzie2026-06-14T19:28:51.000Z

useless.

you hear versions of this on site and in the office all the time.. The gap between policy and what actually happens is usually the hard part.

Ella Thompson2026-06-14T19:30:51.000Z

What even is a 'highly fragmented medical scanning system'? Like, they can't share files between hospitals?

anyone working in this space has probably seen this coming.. wait till facebook gets the health headline. Execution is what will decide whether this helps.

Finn Walker2026-06-14T19:52:51.000Z

Nah but honestly, good on them for finally getting it sorted. My mate waited months for a CT scan last year, this stuff matters.

Finn Walker2026-06-14T20:31:51.000Z

can't even get the basics right, scanning is just the tip of the iceberg.

Grace Patel2026-06-14T20:16:51.000Z

Stabilising... so it was actually falling over? Sounds about right for our health system.

Reagan Shaw2026-06-14T20:26:51.000Z

as someone studying health IT, this is actually a massive deal. The silos are insane. But June deadline? yeah nah, never gonna happen.

Grace Patel2026-06-14T21:19:51.000Z

lol 'massive deal' - bro it's 2026 and they're still using fax machines probably
