Last night in an open letter to the Prime Minister the trust warned Aotearoa is at risk of a catastrophic collapse of the healthcare workforce".
Still, Health Minister Andrew Little refuses to use the word "crisis". That has left many feeling ignored, as well as undermined and under pressure.
Three doctors who took part in the survey gave Checkpoint their diagnosis of healthcare in this country and a taste of life and death on the frontline.
