The community board in Wānaka and the Upper Clutha held a recent public meeting on healthcare issues which saw more 400 people cram into a local hall to discuss the lack of after-hours care and access to basic services.

And Kim explains why there are huge inequities in the way Queenstown residents can claim the government's accommodation supplement based on outdated maps.
