This is the area in which Nat's and Act are working in sync . Look at places like Remuera in Auckland. We are now watching the return on investment following those huge donations(investments) prior to the election. All those millions have demanded their ROI saspo. Clear intent. Privatisation.

10,000 surgeries for private hospital$ taking surgeons time out of public hospitals and on to less complex surgery to make it look like waiting lists are dropping.

But the people with complex surgery will be waiting longer because it’s the same pool of surgeons, public and private.

Cherry picked profitable operations

Shareholders of private hospitals will be happy.

Remember when public health surgeons offered to work an extra day to clear public waiting lists and Luxon’s govt rejected that idea?

This is this Govt deliberate choice to prefer private hospitals. To push govt $ their way.

People's inability to connect the dots.
Drs in private health are the same as in public.
Yes.
If we paid them properly in public & have the available facilities we could do all these surgeries in the public system.
As an extra bonus, we could have even more surgeries as there's no profit margin.

So that equals to the size Dunedin should be, the extra requirements for Chch, the new hospital in Wellytown and the hospital meant to have been built in North Hamilton 30yrs ago. Public still doing the pre op and post op care =cost & time that brownpoop doesnt even understand is needed
