David Seymour's concerned about the rationale behind the new Waikato medical school.  National campaigned on the idea of a new medical school with a greater focus on rural and primary healthcare.  The ACT leader wrote to Health Minister Shane Reti saying he was dissatisfied with a cost-benefit analysis on the school, which must be presented according to the coalition agreement.  Seymour told Mike Hosking they have to be sure this is the most efficient way to get doctors.  He says they had not counted the cost of training specialists and they'd made a lot of assumptions.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
