Health and Education must be our top priority for our whanau
It is my assertion that a successful health care system that New Zealand can provide is one that treats the sick cheaply and in a timely manner regardless if you do not meet a streaming criteria.
In the same vein a successful education system is able to teach the unknown to students who are recognized as being different and taught accordingly. Both of these approaches cost money and the debate for the voter is why it should be spent in their region and thus cast your vote accordingly.
These two Ministry’s appear to share a number of common issues. Furthermore it may be suggested that multiple government departments (police, corrections, fire service and social service providers found amongst the community) exhibit the same trends.
None of these observations can be pointed to in any recent scientific study but by reading a radon selection of national or regional newspapers, one can identify a number of the issues for yourself of which I have detailed the following examples;
Staff from both ministries are overworked
Remuneration packages are poor struggling to even keep pace with the international market
Resulting in years of poor recruitment
Further to this both ministries are under resourced
These issues have produced symptoms common again to both ministry’s;
Public service sectors striking
Education Teachers, primary and tertiary and pre school
Health orderlies, nurses, junior doctors, snr doctors and dentists
Pay parity with private providers
Increased cost to access health care such as Medication, specialization, regional preferences, remedial education required
Hospital closures have lead to the centralization of services leading to increased cost to the individual voter
Worse case voters not attending the medical treatment
Truancy rates
