Staff Threaten to Leave Pahiatua Medical Centre Over Staff Shortages

The Problem

Staff at the Pahiatua Medical Centre are threatening to resign or walk out over ongoing safety concerns and a lack of resources at the facility.

The Changes

A Primary Health Organisation has stepped in to make changes at the medical centre, which includes bringing in an independent manager to handle the situation. Employees have warned they will follow through with their walkout threats unless the under-resourcing issues are properly fixed.
