- Description
The cartoon shows a huge bomb representing 'neurosurgery' with a fizzing fuse. A couple of men, one of them a policeman peer at it from behind a brick wall. The policeman says that 'IED is the new buzzword... Improvised Explosive Device.' 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. An 'IED' is an improvised explosive device like that which killed Kiwi soldier Tim O'Donnell in Afghanistan.
