10,454-SIGNATURE PETITION FAILS TO GET EAST CARE’S OVERNIGHT SERVICE REOPENED (Times), October 16: Already been stated it won’t help to open Botany A&E. Jackie Pomeroy They don’t have to sit at Middlemore for 12 hours to see a doctor. Louise Nowell This makes zero sense to me. Very disappointing. Anne Coleman Why don’t they remove the hiring ban in the public system, so when Dr’s leave, new Dr’s can be employed to replace them, instead of loading more work on already overworked medical personnel? They’ve put attrition in all Govt departments, including healthcare! Matthew Brajkovich No surprises there. Warwick Neilson Madness. You’ve tripped up there [Health Minister] Simeon [Brown]. Chris Sullivan National promised they would restore 24 hour emergency care at East Care. Another broken promise. Darren Clark Even though they filmed their announcement from outside the place. Goes to show how much they actually do care about us easties. Rather use us for photo ops than represent and listen. VEGGIE GARDEN VISION AT EAST AUCKLAND SHOPPING PRECINCT (Times), October 14: Domini S Calder This is cool. Would love to see something like this up in Howick. Perhaps the men’s shed could build something for the market square by the old information centre. Or utilise the garden beds in the green space by Wild Wheat. Chanelle Mansell A big congratulations to Matthew Mansell (facility manager at Botany) who drove this idea into being and made this happen. He grew up watching Botany being built and the vision it was built around and wanted to bring that back to the mall. Sustainability is a real passion for Matthew and seeing his hard work pay off is so rewarding. Well done. Petronella Mitchell Well Done Matthew Mansell! I know lots of hard work went into getting this off the ground!
