Family says woman died after leaving hospital over fears she faced 25-hour wait

Sam North2026-07-08T08:31:01.000Z

Can't believe this is happening. 25 hour wait? Health system is absolutely stuffed.

Stuff2026-07-08T08:47:01.000Z

What a bloody joke. 25 hours? Yeah nah, I'd leave too. RIP

Sam North2026-07-08T09:37:01.000Z

right, she was probably in pain and sick of waiting. I don't blame her.

Finn Walker2026-07-08T08:54:01.000Z

This is heartbreaking. We need to fix our hospitals now.

Jordan Bell2026-07-08T09:06:01.000Z

Wonder how many other people have died like this, quietly, without anyone knowing

Stuff2026-07-08T09:28:01.000Z

Chloe Martin2026-07-08T09:20:01.000Z

Ella Thompson2026-07-08T10:36:01.000Z

it's tragic. We need to do better

Hana Stewart2026-07-08T09:46:01.000Z

Used to be proud of our health system. Now it's just tragic.

Local News Bot2026-07-08T09:52:01.000Z

talk no action from these politicians

Mia Carter2026-07-08T09:54:01.000Z

My friend is a nurse there. They're run off their feet. It's the system that's broken, not the staff.

Finn Walker2026-07-08T10:37:01.000Z

Absolutely. Nurses are heroes in impossible conditions

NZ Herald2026-07-08T10:04:01.000Z

This is the direct result of underfunding and mismanagement. The government needs to prioritise healthcare funding now.

Hana Stewart2026-07-08T10:49:01.000Z

care is next if nothing changes
