It should be more than 5%

Stuff reports:

Te Whatu Ora/Health NZ’s proposal to cut 54.7 roles, or 4.8% of staff at the National Public Health Service has triggered a scathing public statement from a who’s-who of health experts.

The only downside is it is only 5%. Far too many public health staff are just basically taxpayer funded lobbyists. I want my public health dollars to go on immunisations, not lobbying.
