Poll: Shuffle resources or shuffle people?

Reporter Manawatū Standard

Mōrena kiritata,

Some patients from Eketāhuna have been allowed to go to Masterton hospital for treatment rather than drive more than double the distance to Palmerston North hospital.

Patients in the small southern Tararua town were being turned away by the Wairarapa District Health Board because resources are stretched in Masterton.

But there's still restrictions in place.

Do you think patients should have to travel more than an hour for care if there's a closer hospital?
