People not buildings
Community Health Nurses met in Auckland recently to give their support to people-orientated health projects rather than building programmes. The nurses supported a Maori call for a say in the handing out of public health money. The nurses felt the needs of the Maori community were more important than present government plans to extend buildings, such as the Mangere Health Centre. The support came from a study day held by the community nurses section of the New Zealand Nurses Association. Three Maori women, Donna Awatere, Waireti Rolleston and Georgina Kirby spoke on the theme, Waere i te ara Clear the way. The central theme looked at Maori sovereignty in relation to Maori health. The study group resolved to examine the effect on Maori health of lack of Maori sovereignty.
