Good call Maurie.Until PSEC/DHB can answer questions posed by Tom,Dr Fox and the public all monies must be withheld.A report (TAS)that links most if not all issues back to management needs a public response from PSEC/DHB.To remove a key player (Robinson) and not give an explanation leaves this whole restructuring process open to interpretation and rumour,something all parties do not need at this time.
A public apology to nurses could go along way to instilling public confidence and restoring esteem to this sevice and its stakeholders.

I lived in Napier for 50 years,up until the death of my beautiful wife in September 03,at Cranford Hospice.The care,tenderness,and love,she received from Kerryn Lum,the Nurses,everyone.was beyond any words of mine. That wonderful x factor,that was unique toCranford,must not be lost . On visiting Napier,after roaming the World for a few years,it was with utter disbelief Ilearned what the bureaucrats are doing to Cranford.trying to turn it into a clinical institution,walk in the front,wheeled out the back.all singing God bless DHB. It must not happen,I for one have put a hold on all donations.and instructed my Lawyer hold my bequest,until I hear from Kerryn Lum,or any of the old Nursing staff,not from some spin doctor,that commonsense has prevailed,Istrongly urge any one who wants Cranford to be as we knew it,for the People of the Bay,to do the same. Thank you to all those wonderful Doctors,and Nurses of old Cranford,my self and my Family,will never forget you.Maurie Staples,
