Middlemore $80m boost a good start - Gosche

Middlemore Hospital's latest cash injection won't fix all its rotting buildings and it pales into comparison with what other district health boards in Auckland have got. Yesterday the government announced that Counties Manukau DHB would get $80 million to start fixing its building and infrastructure problems. RNZ reporter Phil Pennington asked the DHB's chair, Mark Gosche, whether that would make much of a difference, given previous estimates that up to $1.6 billion is needed to get the hospital up to scratch.
