Why not combine cleaner, security staff AND brain surgeon to save costs?
How insane is this…
Hospital staff concerned about combined cleaner-security officer roles
Combining the roles of cleaners and security guards into one job at two rural Waikato hospitals has left staff worried about their own safety and that of patients.
And the scheme’s cost savings haven’t been as much as predicted.
…this is how severe the budget cuts inside public health really are.
What is happening right now, is that the Government have underfunded health by not including population growth, ageing patients or inflation. Simeon Brown will claim National are putting more money into health, which is completely true, but they haven’t accounted for all those other factors so the amount doesn’t actually cover the cost.
As public health fails, this Government props up private health.
They have underfunded public health while covertly boosting the private health sector.
Why not go the whole hog here to save costs by combining the cleaner, security staff AND brain surgeon all into one role?
BTW – don’t dare fucking claim, ‘Cindy and Grant spent all the money so suck it you wokester cucks’, because that line of argument, that we are going through terrible cuts to public services because Labour spent money to protect the country during a once in a century pandemic is bullshit.
This Government is choosing to underfund public services because they believe the private sector is better and because the private sector are their donors.
They have money for Big Tobacco, landlords, bosses, property speculators and corporations, so don’t tell me we don’t have money for public health.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
I have a brilliant idea.
The government can save money if at parliament they combine roles thus eliminating the need to pay people for these services.
Luxon with his many properties is certain to know about taking care of buildings so he can be Prime Minister and general maintenance. Fix dripping water taps, broken windows etc. Just change suit and tie for overalls.
Gerry Brownlee can give him a hand with carpentry details.
Nicola Willis in charge of petty cash and the usual expenditure on things like stationary, tea, coffee, sugar, cleaning supplies, toilet paper.
( Actually she might be better as pay officer, or that role could go to Brooke Van Velden. I invite readers suggestions).
Shane Jones could arrange entertainment in the Members lounge with a tasteful selection of DVDs. There could be a rotation of Members to serve as bar staff.
Chris Bishop knows what is cool on the music scene so can be responsible for piped music in members offices.
David Seymour can supply the Parliamentary meals and also run a small shop stocking all cigarette brands and vapes, this can be in rotation with Chris Bishop and Casey Costello.
Mark Mitchell, of course, security. Erica Stanford can act as counsellor with her ‘all brains learn the same’ therapy.
Every minister can spend an hour or so daily cleaning their allocated area, including bathrooms and kitchens.
Difficult to know what to do with Maureen Pugh. Simon Bridges claimed she cannot be left unsupervised. Same with Winston, erratic, inclined to tantrums.
I have only included government MPs in this scheme because, after all, combining roles is their idea so they should put it into practice first.
I admit my list of combined roles is off the top of my head and I invite TDB readers to suggest MPs in combined roles.
Perhaps Ms Willis could double as Minister of Finance?

Sounds like Labours pay equity law.
No, sounds like Nationals Picton ferry purchase and their total disregard for women.
