Figures released to RNZ show Health NZ MidCentral spent over $100,000 each on two coronial cases over deaths at Palmerston North Hospital.

Meanwhile, the families of the people who died had to represent themselves.

They couldn't afford lawyers, but don't qualify for legal aid, which has tight criteria for civil cases, as these are classed.

And Massey University's online exams have been plagued with problems, Jimmy has some new information on the issue.
