Anaesthetists have come out in support of moves to consider ethnicity when prioritising people on medical waitlists. Ethnicity is a factor in a new medical wait list criteria Te Whatu Ora's rolled out in Auckland, alongside clinical priority, time already spent on the waitlist, location and deprivation level. NZSA Auckland President Dr Morgan Edwards supports this tool, as anaesthetists are well-positioned to use this tool to address inequity of health outcomes for Maori and Pasifika people. "What we know is- when you look at Maori patients, the journey that it's taken for them to get to that waitlist is a much, much longer one when you look at the entire journey than people who are non- Maori."

She has a head full of monsters, and recklessly spills them out onto the written page. Beware dragons, dreadbeasts, taniwha, and small children—all are equally dangerous, and capable of treading on your heart – or tearing it, still beating, from your chest. She started writing with Peter Friend (multi award winner and Asimov's contributor) We had quite a few plays and stories published in Australia and New Zealand. She's written everything from mad scientists, to space explorers, to high fantasy with spoof elements - which is what Quest is. She was the unofficial editor of Lost in the Museum and one of the three editors in Twisty Christmas Tales.
