How have you chosen to take Paul Henry's doctors remark?
TVNZ has apologised after Breakfast host Paul Henry remarked that overseas-trained doctors can't be as good as those trained here. The complaint was laid by Ian Powell, Executive Director of the Association of Salaried Medical Specialists, also a guest on the programme.
The segment ran as follows:
Paul: Well, these immigrants can't be as good as our doctors...
Pippa: Well...
Paul: Or they would...
Pippa: They haven't been trained in the same way.
Paul: They would stay overseas wouldn't they? They would stay overseas...
Pippa: Well...
Paul: If there's an opportunity to make more money overseas.
Pippa: Lifestyle choice for them to be here though.
Paul: Yeah, yeah. Very complicated.
Are you tiring of Paul Henry or the people who lay complaints against him?
