In spite of all their cancellations & cost cutting, this wretched government is going to set up a new medical school at Waikato Uni. Obviously we need to train more Doctors & even more obviously, it's much cheaper to do this by expanding the 2 existing med. schools rather than build a new one from scratch. The vice chancellor of Waikato Uni is a right wing economist & a National party appointed Director of the Reserve Bank who has been pushing for his Uni to have its own med. school. Another case of mutual back scratching by the Nats.
