Poll: Should the Waikato get NZ's third medical school?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

The bid for a Waikato medical school has been around for a while, but was put on the backburner at the last change of government.

The idea is for graduate-entry students to train over four years, including one spent in a community setting. But Labour and National have quite different views on whether that's what should happen.

Do you think Waikato should be the base for NZ's third medical school?
