Sixty high-tech new beds at top of wish list for Wellington Children's Hospital

Have to agree! And the cost of the equipement seems to be OVER THE TOP !! If we have problem with the COSTS of providing the large quantities of the basic equipment needed in NZ hospitals, I suggest that it could be MASS produced in suitable workshops, in the NZ prison system --- YES the NZ prison system where desks/chairs etc, etc, for the public service were made back in the 1940/50/60s And yes I will say PAY the productive prisoners a reasonable wage when there are working (not a couple of dollars a day) - YES make them aware of the fact that they are actually worth something and give them skills that might get them a job when they get out.There a TWO types of prisoners - those that are first timers and NEVER want to come back - so educate them with skills so they DONT come back and the OTHERS that will be back time and time again !! And its not to hard to sort them out Its all about the prisoners ATTITUDE !!! Some dont care less, BUT some will do anything get out ASAP and NEVER come back. ITS NOT HARD to ID both types very quickly (if you have worked in a prison) and the I dont want to be here and I dont want to come back are very obvious from the day they arrive!!

Isnt fitting out hospitals the governments responsibility?

What the heck? Isnt funding health one of the Governments top priorities? Why does the government waste so much money on high cost low quality spending such as billions to make one year of tertiary study free, but goes cap in hand to the public for hospital beds. The childrens hospital build cost has even been donated! Something wrong here Cindy Ardern??

I as a New Zealand am embarrassed to see that Wellington Hospital had to accept a donation to build a childrens hospital which is a great gesture. Where is our Govt. How much did our PM receive while at home for 6 weeks. This is a discussing state of affairs. Now I found out the Labour Party has borrowed 6 Billion to fund their silly projects.

Thats disgusting. Healthcare and education should be the governments top priorities.

Well done and a huge thanks to Mark, Bill and the foundation, you do a fantastic job!

OK, lets set up a working group to look into it then.

a discussing state of affairs Are you intending to discuss affairs of the state? tell us more, not aware of the discussing state of affairs ? Is it a new country? Ive looked on the interweb they have no record of a discussing state of affairs!

Notice you and your mates happy to accept charity when Donkey was at the helm didnt he abandon the sinking ship?
