An unexpected Labour policy announcement was a bit of a shock for leader Chris Hipkins today.
Health spokesperson, Ayesha Verrall revealed the policy in an op-ed for New Zealand Doctor magazine.
It proposes to create an independent body to estimate and allocate GP funding increases, rather than the Government.
Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says Labour 'botched up' the rollout of this announcement.
