Tairāwhiti Hospital services on brink of collapse - Doctors

Doctors warning of crisis at Gisborne hospital say it's demoralising to reach out for help only to be told there is no crisis. A group of more than 30 Tairawhiti doctors wrote to the government last month saying some hospital services are on the brink of collapse and about 40 percent of senior positions are vacant. They wrote last year too but say things have got even worse. Senior doctor at Gisborne Hopsital Alex Raines spoke to Lisa Owen.
