Dr Luke Bradford: GP clinic loans "a part of the solution"
Published 7 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Labour leader Chris Hipkins has unveiled the party's first policy for next year's election - low-interest loans to support doctor-owned clinics.

After announcing their policy of three free GP appointments a year, questions were raised around how our already overwhelmed health system could manage more appointments.
