The nation will soon bid farewell to one of our most celebrated public servants, the Director General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield. 


Dr Bloomfield is stepping down at the end of July- a year earlier than schedules. 


President of the NZ institute of Medical Laboratory Science, Terry Taylor has a direct line to the Director General and told Karyn about his sadness with the early departure.
