What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Public Service Association criticized the government regarding its slow response to vacancies causing poor care in Auckland. The PSA stated that the government's decision to hire 380 new nurses nationwide was insufficient given the chronic underfunding of the public healthcare system. The organization noted that specific areas, such as Counties Manakau district, already face around 70 vacancies, alongside 35 vacancies at Mason Clinic.
