Advocates for a Central Otago regional hospital will not know if their idea has government support until the end of this year.
The Otago Daily Times yesterday asked Health Minister Dr Shane Reti and Mr Luxon during a media conference in Wanaka if they were committed to a proposed regional hospital in Central Otago and the Dunedin Hospital rebuild.
But Prime Minister Chris Luxon has promised "more to say shortly" about his government’s commitment to the Dunedin Hospital rebuild.
