Free Kitchen Table

Donna from Miramar

Glass kitchen table. Glass is ok and has only the one scratch (that I can see). Frame is a bit delicate and needs careful handling but is sturdy once in place. Table measures 700 x 1100. I have 2 black chairs that go with it, but they are very old and have ripped coverings on the seats.

A report has shown that clinics around New Zealand are understaffed, with GP's being overworked and underpaid. And for everyday kiwis, healthcare and emergency healthcare is simply not accessible.

The General Practice Owners Association of Aotearoa's report titled ‘‘On The Brink’’ outlines the urgent need to address pay parity for GP nurses and doctors, beef up workforce numbers and improve funding allocations for practices with the hopes that this makes heatlhcare more accessible in the community.

Are you noticing delays in getting GP appointments or long waits at after-hours care?
