Government's Targeted Approach to Waitlists is Working

  Dr. Ayesha Verrall's Priority for Waitlist Reduction

In a recent data release, Health Minister Dr Ayesha Verrall highlighted the Government's successful efforts in reducing waitlist times for essential medical treatment, making a tangible difference to the lives of New Zealanders in need. Dr Verrall expressed her unwavering commitment to prioritizing the reduction of waitlists since taking office as Minister of Health.  

Positive Results Emerge in Orthopaedic Care

Dr Verrall pointed out that the concerted efforts of various agencies are now bearing fruit, particularly in the field of orthopaedics. The total number of planned care treatments, including minor operations, has seen a significant increase nationwide, showcasing the effectiveness of the targeted approach.   Te Tai Tokerau - Northland Sets an Encouraging Example Despite facing winter pressures, several regions across New Zealand are steadily progressing towards meeting their waitlist targets. Notably, Te Tai Tokerau - Northland stands as a shining example of progress, with an impressive 76 per cent reduction in the number of people waiting more than a year for surgical treatment between August 2022 and July 2023.  

A Path to Swift Action - Treatment Plans for Long Waitlist Patients

Addressing the plight of patients who have endured long wait times, Dr Verrall shared encouraging news. Individuals who had been waiting for over three years for treatment have either received their treatment date and plan or have already undergone treatment. The Health Minister's goal is to ensure that patients waiting for over two years will be treated or scheduled for treatment by the end of September.  

A Focus on Orthopaedic Patients

Dr Verrall also shed light on the dedicated efforts being made for orthopaedic patients. A collaborative initiative led by Te Whatu Ora, in partnership with the New Zealand Orthopaedic Association and Physiotherapy New Zealand, aims to treat or schedule treatment for all patients waiting longer than 365 days for orthopaedic surgery by June 30, 2024.   Improvements in Theatre Utilization - A Game Changer One of the key factors contributing to reduced waitlist times is the concerted effort to improve theatre utilization across the country. The Anaesthetic Technician Tactical group has played a significant role in addressing workforce shortages, leading to fewer theatre cancellations. Their initiatives to enhance the recruitment and retention of anaesthetic technicians have been instrumental in improving patient care.  

Health Reforms and Frontline Support

Dr Verrall emphasized the positive impact of health reforms, which have increased support for frontline healthcare while reducing administrative redundancies. As a result of a more unified health system, patients can now easily access planned care treatment in different areas of the country. For instance, South Canterbury has seen 302 patients from Canterbury and Southland receive treatment at Timaru Hospital in the past year, showcasing the improved patient mobility facilitated by these reforms.  

Gratitude to Healthcare Teams

Dr Verrall expressed her heartfelt appreciation to the dedicated healthcare teams whose unwavering commitment and exceptional care have made these initiatives possible. Their efforts have brought about transformative changes, ensuring New Zealanders receive the medical attention they deserve. In summary, Health Minister Dr Ayesha Verrall's targeted approach to reducing waitlists has yielded promising results, particularly in the field of orthopaedics. Patients are benefiting from improved access to treatment, with wait times significantly reduced across the country. The collaborative efforts of healthcare professionals and various agencies have been pivotal in bringing about these positive changes, marking a significant milestone in New Zealand's healthcare system.   Sources: THX News & The New Zealand Government.

Moemoeā – Dreams, by Aine Whelan-Kopa (Ngāti Hine)

[airyairyaucontraire]

I was especially interested to read that they have different types of animals speaking with different mita or regional dialects - so the lions speak Tainui dialect because of Tainui’s association with Kīngitanga, the Māori King movement, the hyaenas are Ngāti Kahungunu, Rafiki is Tūhoe and Timon and Pumbaa sound like they’re from Te Tai Tokerau. (They’re looking at featuring Ngāi Tahu, from the South Island, in the dub of Frozen which is the next project, and Moana mostly featured Te Whānau-ā-Apanui and Ngāti Porou dialogue.)

I have a lot of problems with the ways Disney operates as a business entity, and with their weakness in matters of queer representation to date, so I’m not just blanket praising them, but I do think it’s pretty cool that they are working with Matewa on projects like this. I don’t know if one would follow from the other, but wouldn’t it be great fun if they eventually made an Aotearoa-set animated movie, developed from the outset as a bilingual production showcasing Māori talent?

20. whakatanga [o te rangi]

/I feel silly trying to add English-looking phonetic pronunciations for Māori words so I’m not doing it anymore/

noun

My Te Tai Tokerau mate uses this in place of a swear word when she’s around important people or little children. I guess it’s her equivalent to ‘shiitake mushrooms’, which my mum used when she didn’t want to swear in front of my sister and me, but up until I was about sixteen I didn’t realise that shiitake was a type of mushroom, so I thought she was saying ‘shit tuckey mushrooms!’ Now I feel like I need to get my friend into a situation where she’ll use ‘whakatanga’ just so I can crack up at her. Also for research for this glossary, of course.

Te Riingi marae (also known as Mahuhu ki te Rangi) is within the Tautoro Valley, south of Kaikohe. It is one of two standing marae in Tautoro Valley that belong to Ngāti Rangi and Ngāti Moerewa hapū of Ngāpuhi (the other being Te Maata).

Mahuhu ki te Rangi marae embodies the maunga Tautoro and Kereru River. Its wharenui, also called Mahuhu ki te Rangi,  is hall style, typical of marae throughout Te Tai Tokerau. The wharekai is Puhikairarunga.

Kua whakamahi nga kaiwhaiwhai i te BYOVD

Kua whakamahi nga kaiwhaiwhai i te BYOVD mo te tekau tau neke atu. Ko tetahi malware e kiia nei ko Slingshot kei te whakamahi i tenei whakaraeraetanga mai i te tau 2012. I roto i etahi atu malwares i whakamahi i tenei pepeha, ka taea e matou te whakahua InvisiMole, LoJax me RobinHood.

I roto i nga tau e rua kua pahure ake nei, kua kite matou i nga whakaeke BYOVD hou, ko tetahi o enei i mahia i te mutunga o tera tau me te tautoko a te roopu Raharuhi. He mea tika kia whakahuahia ko tenei roopu kei te tautokohia e te kawanatanga o Te Tai Tokerau. Kua whakamahia e Raharuhi nga whakaraeraetanga i roto i nga taraiwa haua ki te aro ki windows tetahi kaimahi o tetahi kamupene aerospace i Netherlands me tetahi kairīpoata tōrangapū i Belgium.

I tetahi atu whakaeke, ka whakamahia e te hunga hara ipurangi te whakaraeraetanga BYOVD ki te whakauru me te whakamahi i tetahi taraiwa kei roto te bug i roto i te Micro-Star's MSI AfterBurner 4.6.2.15658. Ka whakamahia tenei taputapu ki te overclock i nga whakairoiro kua whakamahia nuitia, kua whakamahia e nga kaiwhaiwhai ki te whakauru i te BlackByet ransomware.

I te marama o Hūrae, i whai hua tetahi atu roopu ransomware ki tetahi taraiwa anti-spoofing tawhito e whakamahia ana e te keemu rongonui rongonui a Genshin Impact ki te whakahaere i nga waehere kua pangia me te whakauru i te Matapihi ma te whakauru mhyprot2.sys.

I tera marama, ko tetahi atu roopu o nga kaiwhaiwhai e pa ana ki te AvosLocker ransomware i whakamahi i te whakaraerae Avast anti-rootkit atekōkiri aswarpot.sys ki te karo i te tukanga matawai huaketo. I te nuinga o te waa, me whakahuahia ko te maha o nga whakaeke BYOVD e whai ana i te tipu haere.
