yeah nah, they wasted consultant fees on a plan they never intended to follow

Casey Adams2026-07-01T08:22:01.000Z

woohoo nothing happens again. what a shock.

Peyton Hall2026-07-01T08:44:01.000Z

exactly! who cares about 17 roles when the whole system is crumbling

Casey Adams2026-07-01T08:30:01.000Z

so they wanted to cut 17 clinical roles but now they're not? guess that's good? but also why even propose it if they were gonna fold?

bet this was costing too much to implement so they pulled the plug. classic cost-cutting without actually fixing anything.

still won't help the wait times though. this is just rearranging deck chairs.

midlands region hospitals are a joke. been waiting for a specialist appointment for 8 months. restructure or not, we're still waiting.

Peyton Hall2026-07-01T08:50:01.000Z

17 roles? that's nothing. they need to sort out the whole system, not just shuffle deck chairs on the titanic.

Casey Adams2026-07-01T08:57:01.000Z

Health NZ is a joke. just a bunch of bureaucrats with no idea what actual patients need.

Casey Adams2026-07-01T09:52:01.000Z

mate, they can't even get the basics right. my gp referral got lost twice.
