The curious case of Health NZ versus the National Party continues as a former Board member accuses the government of spreading intentional “disinformation.”Let’s do a quick recap of how we got here –On 16 July, there was a sudden and unexpected departure of two more Health NZ Board members. On the 19 July , only 2 of 7 Board members remained.

Health NZ was able to successfully reduce nursing shortages from double digits to about 6%. Yesterday, a Health NZ ex-Board member accused the Prime Minister of spreading “disinformation”.
