David ClarkThe new Dunedin Hospital will be different from the existing hospital, which was built in a past era, Health Minister David Clark says. Dr Clark said he supports moving more procedures to the community and the South was behind other areas in making that shift. In opposition, Dr Clark blamed the population-based funding model for effectively underfunding the area, and promised a review. It was not in the Government’s 100-day plan, but the review was on its agenda for its first term, Dr Clark said. Dr Clark said there was an application process to work through for the request.
