    Health New Zealand is meeting its targets, but a doctors' union says that doesn't mean Kiwis are getting better care

    Health New Zealand is meeting its targets, but a doctors' union says that doesn't mean Kiwis are getting better care


    New figures show cancer treatment is getting faster and child immunisation rates are improving.

    People are also spending less time, on average, in emergency departments.

    Resident Doctors' Associaiton National Secretary Deborah Powell says despite what these figures show, our healthcare system's under real stress.

    She says they don't have enough beds or staff to look after people in hospitals, and there's problems with radiology and the large volumes of patients they're being asked to see.
