新西兰在对安全和生活费问题产生反弹之后,取消了工作人员的医院停车费。 New Zealand cancels hospital parking fees for staff after backlash over safety and cost-of-living concerns.

新西兰取消了对医院工作人员停车收费的医院工作人员市场费率计划,推翻了面临保健工作者和工会强烈反弹的一项建议。 New Zealand has scrapped plans to charge hospital staff market rates for parking, reversing a proposal that faced strong backlash from healthcare workers and unions. 这一行动是继对工人安全,包括袭击和劫车事件的关切之后采取的,并批评收费会加剧低收入工作人员的生活费用危机。 The move follows concerns over worker safety, including incidents of assaults and carjackings, and criticism that the fees would worsen the cost-of-living crisis for low-income staff. 新西兰卫生部引用了一次全国协商的反馈,并强调它致力于为病人、来访者和工作人员提供安全、有保障和负担得起的停车位。 Health NZ cited feedback from a national consultation and emphasized its commitment to safe, secure, and affordable parking for patients, visitors, and staff. 虽然有人称这一逆转为“令人尴尬的回转”，但也有人欢迎这是对前线关切的认可。 While some called the reversal an "embarrassing U-turn," others welcomed it as a recognition of frontline concerns. 该机构确认目前不会进行这些改革,包括停车服务的私有化。 The agency confirmed it will not proceed with the changes, including privatization of parking services, at this time.
