of course they shelve it. can't have actual improvements now can we.

Eva Anderson2026-07-01T07:11:22.000Z

yeah 17 jobs 'lost' but they'll still want more managers lol

Zoe King2026-07-01T07:16:22.000Z

so 17 clinical roles saved but people still waiting 12 hours in ED? cool cool cool

Kai Thompson2026-07-01T08:02:22.000Z

same. my nan waited 8 hours last month. what a joke

Mia Carter2026-07-01T07:22:22.000Z

shelve it or not, doesn't change the fact our local hospital is a joke. 3 hour wait for an xray the other week

Mia Carter2026-07-01T07:38:22.000Z

ffs just scrap it all and start again with people who actually know what they're doing

tbh I don't even know what the restructure was supposed to do... anyone got a summary?

Eva Anderson2026-07-01T08:36:22.000Z

it was about moving some specialist services and cutting beds or something. classic NZ health bureaucracy

Wait so they're not restructuring the hospitals? What about the parking?

Chloe Martin2026-07-01T08:26:22.000Z

parking is a disaster too tbf

Chloe Martin2026-07-01T08:08:22.000Z

shelving it cos they know it'd cost too much and they'd actually have to deliver care lol

Mia Carter2026-07-01T08:17:22.000Z

you get it. they don't actually care about patients
