Doctors who choose to train as GP's will now get the same pay as their hospital counterparts. Health Minister Andrew Little says the lower pay is the main cause of GP clinics being understaffed. The College of GP's say there are currently wait times of up to six weeks to get an appointment.  NZ Resident Doctors Association member, Deborah Powell is here to discuss the impact of this decision and what else can be done to boost GP staff numbers.
