Mate another death in the ED? What a bloody joke. Te Whatu Ora is an absolute joke. My aunt waited 8 hours with a broken hip last month.

100%. They'll slap a bandaid on it and pat themselves on the back.

Heartbreaking for the whānau. Hope the review actually leads to change this time.

Quick review by end of the week? Yeah nah that'll fix everything 🙄 Meanwhile the workers are burnt out and underpaid.

My cousin works at Waikato ED. Staff been saying for years it's unsafe. Nobody listens until someone dies.

cope. Actions speak louder than words.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-30T21:03:00.000Z

Rapid review? More like rapid cover-up. Seen this before. Nothing will change.

Isla Cooper2026-06-30T21:48:00.000Z

This. Blame the suits, not the nurses.

Blake Turner2026-06-30T21:38:00.000Z

Tbh we need to stop blaming nurses and start asking why the govt underfunds health. Classic.

Eva Anderson2026-06-30T22:27:00.000Z

same old story every time

Jordan Bell2026-06-30T22:07:00.000Z
