A report has shown that clinics around New Zealand are understaffed, with GP's being overworked and underpaid. And for everyday kiwis, healthcare and emergency healthcare is simply not accessible.

The General Practice Owners Association of Aotearoa's report titled ‘‘On The Brink’’ outlines the urgent need to address pay parity for GP nurses and doctors, beef up workforce numbers and improve funding allocations for practices with the hopes that this makes heatlhcare more accessible in the community.

I am selling as I have found a project that a mate and I are heading up so need this gone to free up some space and money.
There is money owing on the Prado and will be payed with the funds of the sale. Buyer to make payment direct to the finance house to zero the finance and then the new owner will get a confirmation letter of no money owing for the vehicle from the finance bank.

The heater has three separate heating elements which can be connected and controlled individually.
Owned for 3 years and hardly ever used, because we tend to be in the hot tub at the other end of the house.

The heater can be ceiling or wall mounted. Supplied fixing brackets are adjustable and can be angled in different fixed positions.
