from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB
Some health workers say they want the priority to be the workforce rather than the budget. The Health New Zealand board has been sacked and replaced with a commissioner - Lester Levy. Health Minister Dr Shane Reti says the agency is overspending by $130 million a month. Resident Doctors' Association National Secretary Deborah Powell told Ryan Bridge it is underfunded. She says the money they get is always in catch-up mode, and they need to get into an investment phase. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
