The Prime Minister has confirmed a Waikato medical school's coming, with construction beginning this year.
The Government's putting $83 million towards the $230-million-dollar project, with the rest coming from Waikato University and philanthropic investors.
It'll offer a graduate-entry programme, focused on primary care and rural health.
Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says the ACT Party quickly released a statement taking credit for driving down the price of the project.
