The Government may need to re-consider its stance on healthcare in the upcoming budget.

An OIA has discovered the current health minister’s initial surgery wait list targets are estimated to have a $723 million price tag, over two years.

Christchurch colorectal surgeon Chris Wakeman tells Mike Hosking the biggest hurdle is the lack of people and facilities.

“This is a much bigger picture problem than just a budgetary allotment.”
