Health Cuts Hurt
PO Box 26-125
Christchurch
Health Cuts Hurt is a patient lobby group that has been campaigning for an open and democratic health care system for the people of Canterbury since 2003. When the Ministry decreed health funding cuts for Canterbury, it was our team that protested for change.
Health Cuts Hurt believes that patients and the community must come first in terms of health care spending and priorities.
We have one representative who was elected onto the Christchurch District Health Board in 2007. Eleanor Carter is a sitting Board member. Eleanor's mother Heather Carter was on the Board from 2004 - 07.
We all know that health cuts never heal. Health funding cuts lead to the wrong sort of cuts to waiting lists, to Hospital land sales and industrial disharmony. Eventually health cuts lead to overcrowded Emergency Departments and the tragedies that can result.
Health Cuts Hurt - campaigning for a fully publicly funded, open and accessible Canterbury health service.
