From Morning Report, 7:10 am on 17 April 2019

The Health Minister is poised to sack the entire Waikato District Health Board and replace it with a commissioner. David Clark has told the embattled DHB he's seriously dissatisfied with its performance and increasingly worried about its growing deficit. He's giving the board two weeks to tell him what they think before he makes a final decision. Mr Clark is not commenting further. RNZ health correspondent, Karen Brown joins us with the details.
