    Northland is hoping to plug the healthcare workforce gap

    Northland is hoping to plug the healthcare workforce gap


    The Taitokerau Regional Skills Leadership Group released its workforce plan at Waitangi this morning.

    It identifies healthcare training as a regional skills priority - particularly podiatry, aged care, and oral, occupational and mental health.

    The report says the region needs just under 1000 nurses over the next five years.

    Co-Chair, Toa Faneva, says the biggest shortage is in the aged care sector.

    He says Te Whatu Ora and Maori health authorities have the same priority.
