Description

Labour leader Chris Hipkins has unveiled the party's first policy for next year's election - low-interest loans to support doctor-owned clinics.

The scheme will offer up to 50 ten year long loans a year for doctors or nurse practitioners to open or buy into local clinics, interest free for the first two years. 

After announcing their policy of three free GP appointments a year, questions were raised around how our already overwhelmed health system could manage more appointments.
