Health New Zealand on senior doctors strike
Senior doctors traded scrubs for placards on Thursday as thousands walked off the job for 24 hours, many braving foul weather on picket lines around the country. They are locked in a bitter dispute with Te Whatu Ora over pay and conditions, with more than 5000 senior doctors on strike until 11:59pm. Dr Richard Sullivan, Chief Clinical Officer for Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora spoke to Lisa Owen.
