Plunket, nurses remain at odds over changes

Plunket and the nurses' union still appear to be at odds, disagreeing about what exactly is on the cards for its care in Auckland. An internal planning document says staff could be shifted to high needs areas, and that babies from better-off families could miss out. Plunket's chief executive Amanda Malu says it's a discussion document asking for feedback about staff allocation, to ensure a fair balance of staff and managers in parts of the city with, for example, higher birth rates. She told RNZ reporter Tom Furley the organisation won't be changing its universal service.
