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.

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.
