The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Tuesdays

Doctors are saying the Government's proposed five percent funding increase isn't enough. A number of general practice associations have written to Te Whatu Ora Health NZ calling for an increase of at least 14 percent. College of GPs President Samantha Murton told Mike Hosking the funding model was formulised two decades ago, but lots has changed since then. She says that formula doesn't cover the high cost of medical equipment. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
