Health Cuts Hurt 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 over the last three years, it was our team that protested for change. Now we are asking you to let our team heal the health of Canterbury.

Health Cuts Hurt believes that patients and the community must come first in terms of health care spending and priorities.

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.
