Private hospitals in nz do elective surgery only, and if there are any complications the patient is transferred to the public system. Private hospitals will not provide any medical, paediatric, geriatric, cancer, diabetes, coronary care (there's heaps of other areas, those are just the ones off the top of my head). No clinics or preventative health programs. This initiative is, as you say an awful short term economic solution to underfunded. People of aotearoa (all of us) will be the losers

Where and when are the March for health as I have had numerous enquiries here in the Manawatu area
These are the ones currently planned, Geoff, but to be honest, what I think we need is a movement and collection of people to mobilise a Health one.
