- Description
Shows a brain which represents 'Southern Neurological Services'. Text reads 'Oh look... a perfectly healthy, functioning brain...... which the government want to transplant... once they find a convenient prognosis.' Tiny text below reads 'A solution looking for a problem.' A second version has text reading 'Oh look... a perfectly healthy, functioning mind...' This is about the controversial topic of neurosurgery units in the South Island. Currently both Christchurch and Dunedin provide neurosurgical services, but with the five South Island district health boards (DHBs) agreeing the South Island would be best served by having one hospital providing them, one will be forced to give up. There have been large protests led by the mayors of Dunedin and Invercargill. A report on the issue is due to be presented to Health Minister Tony Ryall in October.
