Health Minister reveals goals to achieving five health targets
Dr Shane Reti has unveilled his prescription for achieving five significant health targets all within the existing budget, leaving some experts skeptical about whether it's actually possible. The five targets are: faster cancer treatment, improved immunisation coverage, shorter stays in emergency departments, shorter waits for specialist appointments and elective treatment. The Health Minister said he's been assured we're on track to meet them without dipping further into the public purse, Ruth Hill reports.
