There's no quick fix for a massive backlog of operations and appointments cancelled or postponed due to Omicron, Counties Manukau DHB says. In a statement late last week, Counties Manukau DHB time-critical surgery continued during the surge. Counties Manukau Health chief operating officer Pauline McGrath said there was no quick fix solution. Association of Salaried Medical Specialists (ASMS) executive director Sarah Dalton said DHBs up and down the country were in the same situation, and Counties Manukau was no different. Counties Manukau DHB was approached for comment.
