Labour commits to fully funding maternity scans
from Checkpoint

The sonographer appointments are currently subsidised but still mean expectant parents can pay up to $90 per scan. This is something Labour says is putting pressure on families and prevents parents and babies from getting care. Field correspondent Charlotte Cook reports.
