Letters: Working in bad conditions

The state of what use to be our historic Groutville Clinic is depressing even for the staff. How can our health professionals be expected to do their best in makeshift containers, death trap old walls that are a nightmare in rain or heat?
One always cry about the attitudes of Groutville clinic nurses and admin staff, but in all truth and fairness it’s unfair to even ask for smiles from people who work under those conditions. Our health professionals are doing their best under demoralising conditions. To think that people studied very hard only to be stationed in old wrecked buildings is beyond me. Where is the department and unions in all of this?
I know the long awaited new health facility is coming to Groutville which one commends, but the situation now is not good for workers and patients.
This situation needs urgent attention on the side of the Department to save even the dignity of our health professionals and the patients.
