From Checkpoint, 5:08 pm on 11 August 2022

Middlemore Hospital is apologising to patients who were seen by a man pretending to be a doctor there for six months.

A criminal investigation has been launched after the man was able to work there, seeing patients, without the proper qualifications.

The hospital, now part of Te Whatu Ora/Health NZ is investigating, including contacting every patient he saw.

Health correspondent Rowan Quinn joins Lisa Owen with the details.
