Labour Pay Equity Plan Delay

So the party's costed the policy of funding all of those scans at twenty-eight point six million dollars a year. Labor also saying it will invest three million dollars a year in twenty-four additional paid trainee sonographers, a cohort of twelve a year that will be funded through Health New Zealand. Labor's promising it will fund uh every scan a doctor or midwife deems medically necessary. Meanwhile, though, Labour's facing questions about its pay equity commitments. Today we've heard from leader Chris Hipkins that Labour will lay out its exact plan to restore pay equity before the election, but that will not be today. He would not say whether or not it would be eleven billion dollars. We've heard some disagreement over that in the past few days, saying that when Labour announces their policy on that, they will answer all of the media's questions on it and expect quite a few.
