The Health Minister is being warned to keep his nose out of pay negotiations with senior doctors.. with their union also claiming he could be breaching employment law. Yesterday Health Minister Simeon Brown released a letter to Te Whatu Ora and the Doctor's union asking them to agree to binding arbitration. Te Whatu Ora has said yes to the binding arbitration but its a hard no from the Asssociation of Salaried Medical Specialists. Chief Executive of the union, Sarah Dalton spoke to Lisa Owen.
