Manage episode 430479334 series 2098282
The ACT Party wants Health NZ to stop encouraging staff to incorporate a Karakia - or prayer - into their daily routine.
A leaked email revealed the organisation wants staff to include more prayers into their work - and included instructional videos.
ACT health spokesperson Todd Stephenson has labelled this a 'distraction'.
"We want a culturally and religiously neutral public service... and we believe that these prayers or rituals are actually a distraction from what the public service should be doing."
