Budget blowouts for Dunedin Hospital unaffordable - govt

The Government said budget blowouts for Dunedin's new hospital are simply unaffordable so they're tightening their wallets and looking at cuts. A report commissioned by the government found the current plans could not be delivered within the current 1.88 billion dollar budget and it could balloon out to 3 billion. Ministers have asked for urgent advice to keep costs in line. Cuts, delays, shelving spaces or developing the old hospital site are now all on the table, Tess Brunton has more.
