Woke Health system forces doctors to prioritize Maori and Pacifika

Your post is therefore overtly racist, and I hope that fact doesn't escape your readers.

Its racist to even consider race in this criteria, full stop.
I would be pissed off if i had been on the waiting list for years for an operation only to see someone jump the queue before me and get the operation because they are a different race.

Was listening to newstalk ZB all day yesterday and lots of angry doctors calling in, also had someone on the radio say you just tell them you are "maori" and they will believe you. Its your word against theirs. This is the whole problem, I can identify as maori even if you are a fraction of a percent.
Time to treat all people the same, we all have a common ancestor.

This article from the same source might explain it to you better CT

Quote:The report - which was accepted by the Government - supported Te Whatu Ora’s approach that “once high clinical priority cases have been addressed, priority must be given to excessively long-waiting patients, with emphasis on the longest waiting Māori and Pacific patients.”
The taskforce found data that showed a disproportionate number of Māori and Pacific patients “waiting excessively long” for imaging scans (used to check for serious conditions including cancer) in some regions.
Another example: Māori and Pacific children suffered the most because current capacity in the paediatric oral health service can’t match demand, including for dentistry requiring sedation or general anaesthetic.

“There are numerous examples of inequities in many planned care services,” the taskforce concluded. “Initiatives must be put in place to resolve this.”

That doesnt explain how Maori have to wait longer. They are just stating it as an apparent fact that if you are Maori you wait longer. Someone explain to me how race has a factor?
