Meanings of anaesthetic technicians in English

All 11 anaesthetic technicians employed by the DHB will strike for five days.

All eleven anaesthetic technicians at Rotorua Hospital are on strike today over pay.

There were now enough theatres and anaesthetic technicians for the surgery catchup to begin.

Whangarei Hospital's anaesthetic technicians walked off the job an hour ago, demanding better pay and conditions.

The first in what could be a series of strikes by public hospital anaesthetic technicians begins on Wednesday.

Rotorua Hospital said it was two months behind schedule on non-urgent surgery because of the strikes by anaesthetic technicians.

The planned industrial action involves staff at every DHB, including public and mental health nurses, physiotherapists, anaesthetic technicians and dental therapists.

The Anaesthetic Technicians' Union, Apex, said the board had also withdrawn support for adequate rest breaks between certain shifts.
