@BalpeenHammer A follow up story (rnz.co.nz/news/national/515300…) confirms the actual amount is $105 million. According to Te Whatu Ora, this isn't a budget cut. It is the amount hospitals have gone over budget already for the 2023-2024 year, and need to trim spending by to stay within their budgets for the year. Quite how they are going to save that much before 30 June I don't know.
