Nurses respond to District Health Board shake-up plans

From Morning Report, 8:42 am on 31 May 2018

As we reported yesterday the government has announced a far-reaching review of health services. Included in that review is a shake up of the district health boards. Yesterday we got the views of the Minister, the Medical Association, the Association of Salaried Medical Specialists and a senior lecturer in Maori Health at the University of Auckland. This morning we thought we'd get a nurse's perspective. Danni Wilkinson, a registered nurse and administrator of the New Zealand nurses' Facebook group "New Zealand, please hear our voice" talks to Philippa Tolley.
