Poll: Do you think the health system is understaffed?
Hundreds of roles at Te Whatu Ora Waikato are vacant, including a senior pharmacist position unfilled for 1081 days and more than 250 nursing jobs.
Nurses have “gruelling and relentless workloads“ according to a 30-year veteran who recently resigned from a Waikato Hospital role, saying there was high turnover and she was one of few seniors.
