Cartoon. Title: “The Healthy Futures (Pae Ora) Amendment Bill.” Image shows Assoc Health Minister Casey Costello explaining why the amendments to the bill are necessary, “Poor Simeon would have a healthier future if you health workers weren’t allowed to express opinions about his policies.” Health Minister Simeon Brown is in the background, the back of his hand to his forehead, saying, “Ooh… they’re killing me, Casey, killing me”

Doctors are concerned the Healthy Futures Pae Ora law change will stop health workers speaking out about things they think are detrimental to healthcare and the public.

In Aoteraroa #PaeOra and Te Mauri o Rongo set expectations and tools to make the health system for all clinicians and all patients. This awful 💔story is one example of what happens when you remove focus on addressing systemic racism. THIS is the real us, IF we don’t actively work against it.
