We put our faith in the idea that a visit to the hospital places us in the safe hands of professionals capable of caring for us under their watch.  

In recent years though, our health system has been stretched thin, with waiting rooms overcrowded, staff burnt out and funding holes everywhere you look. 

The repercussions are being seen in the stories of both patients and staff, who have grown concerned about safety and the quality of care being offered in our hospitals.   

Today on The Front Page, Damien is joined by NZ Herald senior writer Alex Spence, who has received numerous leaked reports in recent months that paint a worrying picture about the state of our healthcare.
