DHBs are piling debt upon debt
DHBs are piling debt upon debt
5 August 2019
Latest Ministry of Health financial figures show DHBs have amassed four-hundred-and-twenty-three-million-dollars in deficit.
Dean of Otago's business school Robin Gauld says 30 per cent of that is considered wasted money.
He says inefficiency is partly to blame.
Gauld would like to see the DHB system gone altogether, saying it's far from ideal.
He says an alliance of hospital specialists and GPs working collaboratively would be far more effective.
