Nurses at Wakari Hospital say they are concerned about the purpose of upgrades being carried out in ward 9a. The staff question what the improvements are intended to achieve if patients are not moved back into the ward after the work is completed.
The concerns are raised by nurses working in ward 9a, who are trying to understand the plans for patient placement during and after the renovations. They say the upgrades could be less effective or less meaningful if operational decisions prevent patients from returning to the area.
The report does not provide additional detail on when the upgrades are expected to finish, whether patients will return to ward 9a, or what reasons are behind the ward’s current patient allocation. It focuses on the nurses’ perspective and their need for clarity about the next steps following the construction work.
