ffs Wakari again? Didn't they just get in trouble last year for something similar. Sort it out.

Jamie Fox2026-07-03T05:32:04.000Z

nah it's systemic. The whole system is broken.

This is actually so sad. My nan was in that ward and the nurses were lovely but it was clearly understaffed. Management needs a good kick up the arse.

Reese Morgan2026-07-03T05:46:04.000Z

I saw it firsthand. Night shifts were terrifying with 3 staff for 30 patients.

another day another NZ health scandal. what a shock 🙄

Mia Carter2026-07-03T05:52:04.000Z

Why do we keep pouring money into these old hospitals instead of building new ones? Madness.

Gutted for the patients but also for the staff who are just tryna do their jobs with no resources. Classic underfunding.

Eva Anderson2026-07-03T07:02:04.000Z

Exactly. Closing wards is just shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-03T06:22:04.000Z

Closing the ward doesn't fix the problem, just moves it somewhere else. They need more funding not closures.

get stuffed the govt won't spend a cent more than they have to

Cameron Diaz2026-07-03T06:33:04.000Z

Casey Adams2026-07-03T07:04:04.000Z
