Luxon set on budget cap for hospital

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says the government will not budge on the budget cap it has set of $1.9 billion for the new Dunedin hospital.

Speaking to the Otago Daily Times in Queenstown yesterday, Mr Luxon used the figure $1.9b for the hospital build budget — and when asked if the government would spend any more on the project, he said "no".
