Kerri Nuku: Nurses Organisation President on the lack of staff needed to meet the healthcare targets

The nurses union says there's not enough health staff to meet health targets. The Health Minister's laid out his plans for delivering health targets set in March. Dr Shane Reti's discussed increasing public hospital beds and operating theatres and using private hospital capacity more. He's confident the Budget and resources are already in place to deliver them. Nurses Organisation President Kerri Nuku told Ryan Bridge the whole workforce is understaffed and chronically underfunded. She says it's fine to have ambitious plans, but if there aren't the people or resources to implement them, it'll fail. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
