HEADLINE: A public health system in crisis
Responsibility for the greatest health crisis the country has faced since tuberculosis was a major killer of Pākeha New Zealanders, accounting for 10 per cent of all deaths in the late 19th Century, can be laid firmly at the revolving door of continual changes to the administration of the health system.
Back then Māori were even more vulnerable, with their tuberculosis death rates around ten times those of non-Māori by the 1930s. Re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic, as proposed by the Simpson report, will not change those relative inequities of outcome that remain today, or provide more resources to alleviate the critical state of the country s emergency departments.

The historic Redhills Durham Miners Hall building, known as Pitman’s Parliament, has received £4.5m of funding from the National Lottery, allowing a full restoration of the Grade II-listed building and modernisation of the facilities.
Redhills, which was opened in 1915, is said to be in urgent need of repairs. An appeal for funding to preserve the building was initially launched by the Durham Miners Association (DMA) in November 2018. Apart from the grant by the National Lottery, Durham City Council will also provide £1.1m of funding toward the £7.25m restoration project. The DMA is raising the remaining £1.65m from trades unions and other supporters.
