Strike action planned at Hawke's Bay Hospital tomorrow

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Hawke’s Bay Hospital’s anaesthetic technicians, who are members of the Association of Professionals and Executive Employee Inc (APEX), have voted to strike for 24 hours from 7am 24 October until 7am 25 October.

As a result of the strike action, 15 elective surgeries that required a general anaesthetic, planned for the day of the strike, would be postponed. Only life preserving operations will go ahead. Patients directly affected have been contacted.

Patients who had surgery planned during the strike period and were unsure of their situation could call Hawke’s Bay Hospital on (06) 878- 8109 for more information.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
