If elected, Labour will build the new Dunedin Hospital to the level that was promised at the 2023 election before the coalition Government said it would downsize the build, blaming cost.
They really hope voters have short memories. In 2017 they promised to have construction start before 2021. They of course didn’t. In fact after six years they still hadn’t signed off a final business case for the entire hospital (only the smaller inpatients facility).
If they had kept their word in 2017, the hospital would be almost complete by now. But their inability to even decide on a final business case after six years speaks volumes.
