The Health Minister says they're adding places to existing medical schools as well as building a third.
The Health Ministry's signing a memorandum of understanding with Waikato University for a third medical school.
It was one of the Government's points in its 100 Day Plan.
Minister Shane Reti told Mike Hosking that there's always been a struggle between boosting existing supply versus what a third medical school could do.
He says if the same ratios as Australia were used, they'd be talking about a fifth medical school today, not a third.
