Document dump sheds light on deficit facing NZ hospitals

From Checkpoint, 5:22 pm today

A document dump by health authorities this afternoon has shed light on the huge and rising deficit facing New Zealand's hospitals. Over 450 pages of  financial reports were released amid questions over who knew what and when. Despite the deficit, Health NZ's top brass is insisting there's been no impact on the quality or quantity of care. Reporter Phil Pennington has been trawling through the paperwork and spoke to Lisa Owen.
