Show Notes
Questions are being raised as to where the blame lies for issues within Health New Zealand.
The board is being replaced with a commissioner as the agency was found to be overspending at the rate of around $130 million a month.
Back office staff numbers have increased significantly in recent years.
Former Health New Zealand Chair Rob Campbell told Mike Hosking there's a possibility the budget was never right from the start.
He suspects the original budgeting appropriations were never adequate, and it's been impossible to manage.
