2023/03/16

The health system is in crisis, and surgeons are being forced to decide which patients to treat, and which need to wait. Counter to Te Whatu Ora’s statement that 73% of planned surgeries had been delivered in the year to date, surgeons are saying its closer to 50% or less. High-profile colorectal surgeon Frank Frizelle joined Kerre Woodham Mornings to discuss the situation. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Imagine getting up in the morning and having to make a decision about whether someone will live or die. Christchurch surgeons were so outraged by Te Whatu Ora's statement that it was delivering 73% of planned care surgeries in Canterbury in the year to date, that they have broken ranks and called BS on that. Remember back in 2022, when then Health Minister Andrew Little said EDs are “totally safe”. “For the month of August over 100,000 patients went to an ED. Some people are waiting longer for

The New Zealand Educational Institute’s primary teachers negotiating team gave it one more whirl on Tuesday to come to an agreement with the Ministry of Education. The Union President Mark Potter said conversations were worthwhile, that the Government and Ministry are better at understanding the issues that need to be addressed, but the Ministry did not make an official offer. So today, many primary school teachers, along with kindergarten and secondary school teachers who are represented by the

The economy has contracted slightly more than predicted by economists and the banks. Latest GDP figures from Stats NZ show a 0.6 percent decline in the three months to December and compares to a two percent increase in the three months to September. Herald Business Editor Liam Dann told Francesca Rudkin if the next quarter is also negative, we could already be in a technical recession. He says economists often say the "on the street definition" of a recession is people losing jobs, but most people's

Did you know the Bonfire of the Vanities was an actual thing? Not just a very good book written in the 1980s that was later turned into a film. The bonfire of the vanities was a religious command to destroy objects that might tempt one to sin, including vanity items such as mirrors, cosmetics, fine dresses, playing cards, and musical instruments. Other targets included books manuscripts of secular songs, and artworks, including paintings and sculpture that were deemed immoral. We saw our own

Before I launch into the usual litany of woe, and really, the stories making the news headlines are indeed indicative of a woeful state of affairs, I do think we should acknowledge some of the good news around. Zoe Hobbs was magnificent in Sydney over the weekend; the Tarankai raised, Auckland based sprinter has officially become the first New Zealand woman to run under 11 seconds for the 100 metres. Hobbs created history at the Sydney Track Classic by running 10.97 to scalp one-tenth of a second

Prime Minister Chris Hipkins says he doesn’t see his kids “anywhere near enough” and is grateful for their sacrifice so he can hold the country’s top job. Speaking on Newstalk ZB this morning, he said he made an effort to treasure what time he did have with them, leaving his phone in the next room, but he recognised the sacrifice of his two young children. “They ultimately make a big sacrifice for me to be able to do the job that I do.” It comes as Hipkins has weighed in on Te Whatu Ora’s publishing

Kerre Woodham: What do you define as a fair tax system?

2023/03/08

Let's talk tax. It is an election year, which means a number of key policies are coming under the spotlight. All the usual suspects - health, law and order, welfare and tax. A Newsroom article has proposed a fairer tax system that would, the author posits, bridge the gap between the haves and the have-nots. Inequality is the enemy of society. It's fine if we're all poor and fine if we're all rich. Where you run into problems is where you have a divide between those who don't have and those who

The author of the Newsroom piece, 'How to make New Zealand's Tax System Fairer?' says our tax policies need to change. This is especially if we want to do something serious about intergenerational inequalities, poverty, and inadequacies in our health and other social services.

Last Friday, I caught up with the neighbours. It was a long time between drinks and it was lovely to sit on the deck on one of the few glorious evenings in Auckland, learning a bit more about the people in my street. I already knew that one of the women was a nurse and it appeared she was a very good one at that. She had worked around the world in public hospitals and in private clinics for the stonkingly rich and clearly loved what she did. Or rather, she used to love what she does. The sheer grind

Peter Knight, from Auckland, took his wife to Auckland City Hospital on Monday because she had severe abdominal pains. Staff were coping admirably, he said, but the department was clearly understaffed and overworked. One nurse said the ED was at 195 per cent capacity. St John workers were looking after patients in the corridors, he said. “It was like a war zone and it was Monday afternoon in the off-season,” he said. Te Whatu Ora interim lead for Te Toka Tumai Auckland, Dr Mike Shepherd, said that

As has been much discussed lately, doctors and nurses have raised concerns about the winter ahead given some Emergency Departments are already over capacity. There are concerns that many hospitals around the country are understaffed and the staff employed are overworked. However, in a good news story, Waikato University's nursing student intake has more than doubled. The school has a record 210 new students attending its two nursing programmes this year.

Highest inflation in 32 years, only 46 per cent of kids attending school, regularly falling standards of education, the increase in violent crime. Christopher Luxon then made promises that a National Government would turn things around with youth military academies for serious youth offenders, getting young people who can work off welfare and into work, lifting tax

The process of rebuilding communities that have taken a hit during the weather events of this summer is going to be a long and arduous process. Tough decisions will have to be made. Personal decisions will have to be made. Do you want to go back and live in the place where your worst nightmare occurred? I’m thinking of the families whose homes came down in landslides, whose homes were flooded and had to flee in the middle of the night. And there are many Auckland families, and indeed Hawkes Bay
