I really don’t get this gov. Populist distraction? I guess they’re cutting health system budget by a similar amount so hoping less accidents in EDs to offset some? Ridiculous in any case. I’m all for prevention of accidents and other preventative health policies. The motivations here are blurry.
They're also weirdly micro-manage on some of this stuff too. I guess they probably inherit that from Luxon, he strikes me as the kinda boss who would get pet obsessions and then try to tell people how to do their jobs even though he doesn't understand what he's talking about.
