Is it possible that both

1. DHBs are getting plenty of supplies
2. Frontline staff are not
   Can both be true?

Possible - given the nature of DHB operations, within DHB dispersions, and varying expectations of clinical staff.

I was surprised at a noticeable difference in resources between three wards of very same hospital last year [/individual anecdote], so...

And Baron, you can tone down the combativeness, it’s just not necessary

asked a friend at a hospital, and it seems they have supply but it is being rationed for the worst cases. So it may be a case of someone thinking they need it but they don’t.

Considering we only have two or three in ICU that might be fair enough.

With middle management involved? Anything is possible

Who else would have had good squads

Rotoruabhs
Welling coll
St kents?
Mags
obhs 2xv (behind team McCaw)
Nelson college
Palmy boys
Te sure?
Kings

Based on the number of ABs, the other schools would include Sacred Heart, Christs, NPBHS and Southland BHS. Feilding has produced a lot of recent/current ABs.

And surprisingly, Timaru BH has 18 ABs.

Wesley College would have as good a backline as any school.

Francis Douglas would have at least half a decent team with Conrad Smith, all of the Barretts and Coltman
