Our health system under Labour

Newshub reports:

New Zealand has experienced one of its worst-ever days of ‘ramping’, where ambulances are forced to sit idle and treat patients on hospital ramps because emergency departments are overloaded. 

Waikato had its worst day ever on Monday with almost every ambulance in the region parked for up to four hours waiting to get into the ED. Five of those ambulances had seriously ill, status two patients on board.

“At its peak we had twelve ambulances at the emergency department.

I remind people again that Labour abolished the successful target National implemented of 95% of ED patients seen within six hours.
