Rob Campbell: Former Health NZ Chair on the agency overspending at a rate of $130m a month

Questions are being raised as to where the blame lies for issues within Health New Zealand.  The board is being replaced with a commissioner as the agency was found to be overspending at the rate of around $130 million a month.  Back office staff numbers have increased significantly in recent years.  Former Health New Zealand Chair Rob Campbell told Mike Hosking there's a possibility the budget was never right from the start.  He suspects the original budgeting appropriations were never adequate, and it's been impossible to manage.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
