Do you think a new minister will make a difference?
The jury is out on whether a change of health minister will derail plans for a third New Zealand medical school based in Hamilton.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
