Community Scoop » OP-ED: Be The Minister, Not Just A Frustrated Onlooker

Article – Neil Miller The headlines read Health Minister ‘extraordinarily frustrated’ as just five new acute mental health beds added after $1.9b investment. The following is an op-ed (484 words) by New Zealand Taxpayers’ Union Analyst Neil Miller. It is free for publication. The headlines read “Health Minister ‘extraordinarily frustrated’ as just five new acute mental health beds added after $1.9b investment”. Sorry Andrew Little, that is simply not good enough. You are not an impartial observer, a mid-level official, a health journalist, or a political commentator. You are the Minister of Health, you are the boss, and you should have been all over this issue months ago.

Ransomware attack: Waikato DHB supporting patients after documents dumped online

Little confirmed the document dump. “I want to acknowledge the patients and staff whose information was held by the Waikato DHB who have now had that information compromised,” he told Parliament. Waikato DHB had a system in place to contact patients to let them know the nature and extent of information about them that had been compromised, he said. The DHB was working with victims to provide them with necessary support, he said. “In addition, people, are entitled to go to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner and exercise their rights under the Privacy Act.” Little said cyberattacks were “the reality of the world”, noting Ireland’s health service had also suffered a huge ransomware attack days before Waikato DHB discovered it had been attacked.
