Doctors and Nurses may not get paid

The final legacy of Labour’s healthcare policy. The Capital and Coast District Health Board has a $70 million budget blowout (funny how the Minister has not sacked them even though he sacked the Hawke’s Bay one for a far far smaller sum).

The DHB has said if it does not get bailed out, it may be unable to pay staff wages. I can’t imagine staff will work without getting paid somehow.
