Photo / ARHTAn intensive care doctor is outraged health officials are giving rescue helicopter trusts a daily list of Covid-19 patients, saying it's completely unnecessary. National MP Hamish Walker resigned after leaking the list of names and addresses he got from Michelle Boag, the acting chief executive of the Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust (ARHT). It's now led to questions over whether too many people have access to the sensitive patient information. RNZ has spoken to the head of another rescue helicopter trust who confirmed they had also been receiving a daily list of Covid-19 patients.
