Colour me surprised

Rawene Hospital is broke and looking for more funding.

The makeup and name of the outfit running the shop was changed in recent times.  Change was needed to be more inclusive of the local bro.  Some might say a HePuaPua trough in the making.

We locals were sold such changes as being necessary, to include things such as the ancient art of witch-doctoring.  A big increase in staff to administer such schemes.

Subsequently a couple of years on, the balance sheet went from positive to negative in a big way.  Well, colour me surprised.

By the bro, for the bro doesn't seem to work anywhere.  All those make-work treaty courses deemed necessary for staff, ki oras in every communication from Mr./Ms nga mihi eat dollars, but do nothing for the bottom line.

Standby for more extreme negative health statistics from the area.  Soon it will only be multi-hour trips to  Whangarei, Kawakawa or Kaitaia hospitals for the sick north of Auckland.
