Mid Central Health
Has anyone else heard the really alarming story that in spite of all the mishaps (some that have taken lives) others really close misses due to shortage of staff; not long ago when Andrew Little visited, made a total mockery of that visit by for the time he was there - moved staff to places he visited so it "looked good"! How stupid could this be?
Badly in need of help; at our expense too often; yet all that is reported on Stuff and in the paper of the mistakes and deaths, yet they go and cover up how truly bad it is?! Has anyone else heard this disgusting but sadly not unbelievable story? How else are those at the top meant to know? I'm sure they become VIP treated if needing help, yet the truth of the real need gets covered over. I am sickened by this thought.
Please can anyone who can coo berate this as fact make a comment?
It came from a reliable source or else I wouldn't post it. If I was one of those staff members I just could not have complied with such a cover-up!
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
