Show Notes
St John's move to pull some ambulances off the road has shone a light on our public health system.
The service is aiming to rein in costs for when a worker is sick or on leave.
Association of Salaried Medical Specialists Executive Director Sarah Dalton told Mike Hosking that she doesn't understand why a core health service isn't publicly funded.
She says ambulances are critical, and as a country we don't fund the service but instead we've made it charitable with a government top up.
