So let's see what those at the coalface are saying. Nurses: the New Zealand Nurses Organisation surveyed its members last week, reporting it gave its members the opportunity in response to health Minister Andrew Little's persistent assertions that there is no health crisis and that the system as a whole is coping. The 99 percent of responding members said the system was either in crisis or already beyond crisis. The New Zealand Nurses Organisation is reporting today that student nurses—some who are unlikely to have been on a hospital ward before—were paid with food vouchers. It has also reported that one of the students was hit. This is wrong on many levels. Firstly, the New Zealand Nurses Organisation reports that their students receive inadequate orientation. The Minister's suggestion that this is what enrolled nursing is like shows how out of touch he is. Enrolled nursing is vastly different to this. Second, is it now a Government policy that nurses will not be paid wages and salary but instead will be paid with food vouchers, and where does this cross the boundary of work for payment versus volunteering? Thirdly, it is reported that some of the work was watch duty. The question arises: were unqualified students on watch duty for people who might harm them or maybe might even harm themselves? Minister Little, this is what a health crisis looks like.
