There’s some good news for kiwis in need of a doctor.  

The Royal College of General Practitioners will see their highest intake of specialist GPs next year. 

239 graduates are starting their program, making a 25% increase. 

College President Samantha Murton told Mike Hosking that while it’s an enormous boost to the overall numbers, they still need lots more people to come in. 

She said they need 317 people a year to ensure everyone can get appointments when needed.
