'Do we need gumboots and hard hats?': Nurses sound alarm over hospital leaks

Three nurses have raised serious concerns about the safety of Hutt Hospital, citing leaks, flooding, and electrical hazards that are putting staff at risk. These issues have prompted them to humorously ask if they need gumboots and hard hats to work there. Health NZ, however, maintains that they are actively managing these risks. This situation highlights potential broader concerns about hospital infrastructure and the urgent need for maintenance and safety checks to ensure a safe working environment for healthcare staff.
