Over 30 senior doctors have written to MPs and Te Whatu Ora calling for urgent action over staff vacancies in Gisborne with claims some patients are going blind waiting to see the hospital's only part-time eye doctor. The region now has the highest senior doctor vacancy rate in New Zealand, which doctors say is the result of years of under-investment, and now exacerbated by recent hiring restrictions and budget cuts, reporter Lucy Xia explains.
