Emergency departments in Auckland, New Zealand, are performing below newly issued national rankings of district health boards (DHB) because of overcrowding.
The Auckland DHB’s emergency departments only discharge, admit to a ward or transfer 70% of patients within the required six-hour period, missing the 95% target, according to NZ Herald.

Auckland DHBs did, however, achieve first place for increasing the number of patients receiving elective surgery but slipped to 18th for shorter emergency department stays.
