Hon ANDREW LITTLE: I am concerned at the reports I am receiving from hospitals, particularly from nurses, about the pressure that they are under. I am concerned that—notwithstanding the agreement reached with the Nurses Organisation in 2018 for the Care Capacity Demand Management scheme, with an expectation that that scheme would be fully up and running across all DHBs by 30 June this year—only half of DHBs say that they will meet that deadline. Seven more are saying that it could be the end of the year before they meet it, and three are saying it could be sometime next year. Nurses are entitled to be disappointed about that level of achievement.
