Bupa has proposed restructures at 17 care homes across the motu, including seven in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Many of these restructures have proposed to cut care hours, with Bupa citing flexibility and financial viability as their main goal. We strongly disagree with these cuts, and think they will lead to adverse care for residents and a loss in take home pay for the health workers who care for them.

Our goal is to have all the cuts withdrawn by the 2nd of April, which is the day that Bupa have given as their final decision. Residents and supporters have been rallying outside care homes over the past few weeks to show their opposition. Join us on 1 April and take the message direct to Bupa head office.
