Hospital EDs warn they are at "critical overload"

Emergency Departments already facing their busiest time of the year have been under even more pressure than usual. This week, Wellington ED recorded its busiest day in almost a year, and North Shore Hospital was too full to take some patients, diverting ambulances to Whangarei Hospital. Christchurch has been warning they are at 'critical overload'. Ongoing challenges like this have led nurse Keziah Jones to hand in her resignation at the hospital where she has worked for 20 years. She joined Melissa Chan Green to share her story.
