Have you ever had trouble with Whangārei hospital's emergency department?

Denise Piper Reporter from Whangārei Leader

The first stocktake of hospital infrastructure shows many intensive care units, operating theatres and emergency departments are in a "poor or very poor" state - including Whangārei Hospital's emergency department, which is only 40 per cent as big as it should be. Have you ever had problems with a long wait time or overcrowding in the emergency department?
