https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/592126/health-nz-sending-more-eye-operations-to-private-sector-under-long-term-contracts Kaitiaki Hauora contended the panel tender signalled a clear shift to privatisation.

Its chair - and ex-chair of HNZ - Rob Campbell - said the move was qualitatively and quantitatively "significant" for community eye-health.

He called the panel a case of "contract fishing ... cast it out and see what we catch. It is very dangerous as the bidder can start to control the process". #nzpol #VoteHealth #healthcrisis #privatisation #WhereIsTheMinister #enrol #vote #EnrolVote
