    Fraud fees defended

    The $1.3 million spent by the Otago District Health Board on legal expenses and costs related to protecting assets to date, after the $16.9 million fraud, needs to be seen in context, board chairman Richard Thomson says.


    Some of the money spent had been on securing assets which would be the subject of a civil claim yet to be dealt with in the High Court at Dunedin, he said.
