Episode Details

A brand new intensive care unit at Auckland's Waitakere Hospital is sitting vacant with no patients, no staff and no operating budget. The first ICU for West Auckland was announced five years ago at a cost of $96 million, with the six bed unit due to open by the end of this year. Now, there's no set opening date. Sarah Dalton, executive director of the Association of Salaried Medical Specialists spoke to Guyon Espiner.
