Crown Monitor for Canterbury DHB

Stuff reports:

Service cuts should be expected after the appointment of a Crown monitor to the Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB), a board member warns.
Dr Lester Levy, a former chairman of Waitemata, Auckland, and Counties Manukau DHBs, will start in the role immediately to help the CDHB climb out of a forecast $103.4 million deficit – the largest of any DHB in the country.

The Government promised it would fund the health system much more than National did, yet the reality is the DHB deficits have exploded since they came in.
