The Health Minister is today set to provide more detail about how his five targets for the health system will be achieved.

Minister Shane Reti has been briefed by officials on how the targets might be manipulated and advised on potential mitigations. 

College of GPs Medical Director Luke Bradford told Mike Hosking that without the tools to make the targets achievable, people look at other options. 

He says one of the ways to manage waiting lists is just to accept fewer people onto them, which isn't the idea of the target.
