From Checkpoint, 5:08 pm today

Health New Zealand's new commissioner said the organisation has become too large and too unaffordable - and wants it re-focused on the frontline and regional delivery. Professor Lester Levy has been appointed on a twelve-month term after the government axed the board, saying it had serious concerns around oversight, overspend, and a significant deterioration in financial outlook, Giles Dexter reports.
