Nurses in Auckland strike over concerns that pausing a safe staffing program could risk patient safety.

Nurses in Auckland, New Zealand, will strike for four hours on December 10, protesting plans by Te Whatu Ora to pause a key part of their safe staffing program, which they say risks patient safety.

Health NZ says it has prepared for the strikes and remains committed to safe staffing, contradicting claims by NZNO.
