Plunket CEO "We're selling off the family silver"

The outgoing Chief Executive of Plunket says the organisation is having to sell off the family silver and cut services because of inadequate funding. Amanda Malu is about to leave the top job after six years. In that time, she's presided over the controvertial sale of Plunket assets and the shutting down of services - in order to balance the books. She says before the financial year even begins, Plunket is already in deficit to the tune of $3 million, and if it were to pay Plunket nurses the same as DHB nurses, the shortfall this year alone would be over $9 million. Amanda Malu speaks with Kathryn Ryan.
