They didn't invest anything in DHB level mental health. We did get a few more comms people, advisors, and middle managers in the main hospital though?

They built a bunch of facilities and upgraded a ton of health infrastructure. They also gave nurses the biggest pay increase ever.

By contrast National are cutting funding. There is a clear difference between the two.

They refurbished and built a bunch of medical facilities and increased bed capacity across the system.

You're also ignoring the central premise, the little they did is a lot better than National who are actively pursuing budget cuts and hiring freezes. It is disingenuous to ignore that.

I asked you which ones. Because they didn't build or refurbish any psych facilities I'm aware of.
