Canterbury District Health Board has
had a number of queries today in relation to the treatment
at Christchurch Hospital of heroin smuggler Tri Phan in
early May and the money he now owes the DHB.
Christchurch Hospital Interim General Manager Ruth Barclay says
Christchurch Hospital is obliged to treat anyone that is acutely unwell. The cost to Tri Phan of the treatment he received at Christchurch Hospital was $28,000. CDHB is seeking to recoup this money from the man’s family.
