Evie speaks to Chief Executive of the New Zealand Nurses Organisation, Paul Goulter about Simeon Brown replacing Dr Shane Reti as Minister of Health.
And Global Innovator, Matt Hart, joins us in studio to discuss part-time jobs and summer jobs.
The most widely discussed move from yesterday’s cabinet reshuffle was the Prime Minister's decision to demote Dr Shane Reti from his position as Minister for Health and replace him with Transport minister, Simeon Brown.
Notably, Simeon Brown has zero experience working in the health sector, opposed to Reti’s 20 plus years practising as a doctor.
However, the New Zealand Nurses Organisation say they’re not concerned with who the minister fronting the portfolio is, but instead with how the government is going to aptly fund and resource the health sector.
Producer Evie spoke to Chief Executive of the organisation, Paul Goulter about the key issues that nurses are facing in the healthcare sector currently. They discussed how the cabinet reshuffle may possibly alter things in the healthcare sector, and what moves need to be made by the government in order to pick it up from the crisis it’s currently facing.
