    Labour's leader says the Government's health infrastructure plan is still all talk

    Labour's leader says the Government's health infrastructure plan is still all talk


    Health Minister Simeon Brown this morning laid out a 10-year pipeline for renewing and expanding public health facilities.

    It identifies more than 20-billion dollars worth of investment is needed to meet future health needs.

    Chris Hipkins says it's clear we need to invest in hospitals -- but that isn't what this Government's been doing.

    He says so far the Government's only slowed down hospital builds, when they should be sped up.
