Dr Orna McGin: Te Whatu Ora Chair on survey finding more than half of doctors think conditions have worsened since establishment

Published: July 24, 2023, 7:30 p.m.

A survey has found more than half of doctors think working conditions have worsened, since Te Whatu Ora was established.

NZ Women in Medicine surveyed 936 doctors.

Only six percent working in primary care and 11 percent in secondary care say they've seen an improvement.

Chair Dr Orna McGin told Mike Hosking very few expressed any hope things will improve in the coming year.

She says the impression they got was of a workforce with low morale, and a huge level of fatigue.
