No more money available for nurses - DHBs

From Morning Report, 7:10 am on 19 June 2018

Nurses say that their dispute with District Health Boards is about more than money - it's also about recognition and respect. Nurses have rejected the latest pay offer, and a strike in July is looming. Kathleen has worked as a nurse for eight years and says the pressures of the job are huge. The District Health Boards say there is no more money available for negotiations. Helen Mason is the DHBs' spokesperson. She talks to Guyon Espiner.
