Not sure Luxon did himself any favours speaking, it was a bit cringe to watch and he was completely outshone by Hipkins

Breaking point? Weekend emergencies cause big bottleneck at Hawke’s Bay Hospital
Welcome to Dr DoLittle's Hopeless Hospital Empire ..
Does the clueless Minister in charge of the rejigged Heath Sector Shambles still say they are managing ? ;)

Is Hipkins a caretaker PM or genuine election game-changer?
Quote:
The RNZ-TVNZ merger looks doomed – and rightly so. It has failed to pass the sniff test.
Similarly, the embattled Three Waters reforms have bedevilled this Government and the backlash burnt Labour in last year’s local body elections. But how far will Hipkins go to dismember the Three Waters reform model?
Blow-torching the four-entity structure and the co-governance arrangements in favour of a return to local council control, will require substantial legislative repeal and a lot of humble pie. I suspect he’s up for it.
Hipkins is acutely aware that co-governance, in its various guises, is a major lightning-rod for the electorate.
Just how he navigates neutralising or eliminating those tensions, without inflaming Labour’s Māori caucus, looms as one of his toughest tasks.
Meanwhile, Auckland’s Light Rail project; hate speech legislation; and Grant Robertson’s legacy project, the Social Unemployment Insurance Scheme, could all be parked up or torn up.
Beyond clearing the decks, grappling with the “pandemic of inflation” is where this election could still be won or lost.
I am prepared to give Hipkins a chance and see how he goes. Intelligent, hard working young man and a lot more personable than I was expecting. Luxon on the other hand appears to be struggling, he will be hard pressed to resonate with voters unless he improves how he comes across. Time will tell. Interesting times ahead
Hipkins is so confident that he will win in October that he's not moving into Premier House. Doesn't want to move his kids twice in 9 months?
Why do you think they are trying to condense 20 DHB's into 4 organisations?
Under the present system, the DHB's all compete against each other for nurses & doctors & resources, so we have spare capacity in some areas of the country while we have bottlenecks at others.
It's a huge task & massively complicated, but if we want a better health system, more equitable outcomes & better services for smaller regional areas like yours, the reforms will be worth it.
You can't reform any large organisation with a $15 billion budget, esp a complicated heath system overnight.
