The Government's turning to rapid off-site building, to add 140 extra beds to hospitals around the country.

It's announced new wards will be constructed off-site for Middlemore, Waikato, Wellington and Nelson hospitals next year. 

They'll open at the same time as an already-announced new ward at Hawke’s Bay Hospital.

Health New Zealand's Head of Infrastructure Delivery Blake Lepper, told Mike Hosking that the budget has allowed them to get one extra unit than what they were expecting.

He says they're ordering buildings that can be sent to wherever the highest needs are around the country.
