The Health Minister says the health system can\'t be completely blamed for a patient death at Auckland\'s Middlemore Hospital.
\\nAn independent inquiry was launched after the death of a patient who had left Middlemore\'s ED after being told it would take hours to be seen.
\\nThe five-page document released to the Local Democracy Reporting Service describes the hospital as dysfunctional, overcrowded and unsafe.
\\nBut Andrew Little told Mike Hosking the report found the woman probably would have died, no matter how the hospital responded.
\\n\\u201cThat particular case was unpredictable and unavoidable.\\u201d
