Following on from the ‘state of emergency’ declared by North Shore Hospital’s emergency nurses last week, a meeting to demand an end to chronic understaffing and underfunding in our health system takes place at the Barfoot & Thompson Netball Centre in Northcote tomorrow.
Patients, whānau, and frontline health care workers are all feeling the impact of an unsafe and underfunded workplace. Joined by North Shore residents in a meeting chaired by faith leaders, health workers will be relating their stories and asking political representatives to respond to the stark realities facing patients and staff in all sectors of the health system.
Representatives from the Labour, Greens, Opportunity and NZ First parties have been confirmed to attend the event.
Where: Barfoot & Thompson Netball Centre (Netball North Harbour) – Gibson Room, 44 Northcote Road, Northcote, Auckland
When: 6.30pm – 8pm, 3 September 2026
