Alarm raised over doctors' 'culture of entitlement'DOMINICO ZAPATA/STUFF Waikato DHB executive director of corporate services Maureen Chrystall said staff are encouraged to speak out if they are concerned by colleagues' behaviour (file photo). The doctor's behaviour reflects a "culture of entitlement" says a former Waikato Hospital staffer who alleges spending by senior medical staff and managers is rarely queried. The worker, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said clerical staff are discouraged from questioning senior DHB staff over their expense receipts. MARK TAYLOR/STUFF Waikato Hospital management say they have tightened up on staff expenses since Nigel Murray's spending saga. The office worker left the Waikato DHB in 2015 and said subsequent revelations of inappropriate spending by former Waikato DHB chief executive Nigel Murray came as no surprise.
