Around the motu: Chris Hyde in Hawkes Bay

The mystery of a new Hawke's Bay Hospital. Te Whatu Ora says it's too soon to be talking about the possibility of one, but Chris says that's what everyone's been doing for the past month or so. The chat started with Tukituki MP Anna Lorck, saying that it's Hawke's Bay's time, and the region is next on the list nationally, and that she'd heard a business case for a $700m+ new hospital was well advanced. Not so, said Te Whatu Ora, but then it gave a little nugget to everyone by saying it was doing a feasibility study. Chris Hyde is the Editor of Hawkes Bay Today.
