Bryan Betty: General Practice NZ Chair says there needs to be a higher funding increase for General Practices - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

There are calls for a review of the funding model used for General Practice, amid more price hikes for patients.  

Health New Zealand is forging ahead with a 4% increase to core General Practice funding. 

General Practice Chair Bryan Betty is adamant the sector needs an increase more like 7.7%. 

He told Mike Hosking the reality is some practices are unviable.  

Betty says we've seen that problem across the country, and it's happening every year now.
