The Prime Minister's butted heads with National leader Chris Luxon over efforts to clear the country's hospital waiting lists
4 May 2022
The Government's today revealed plans to tackle the backlog - directing a new taskforce to deliver a plan by September.
It'll be managed nationally by the interim Maori Health Authority and Health New Zealand, rather than at a DHB level.

Ardern says using clinicians to inform decisions is a good idea.
