Hon ANDREW LITTLE: I'm aware that a provisional improvement notice was served on Capital and Coast District Health Board recently because of staff shortages, and that appears to be related to the fact that hospital management hasn't taken the same steps that other hospitals around the country have done to manage down planned care—which was always expected around this time of the year with the winter flu season—to keep pressure off beds so that those who are being admitted for respiratory conditions get the beds that they need.
