Health Minister Chris Hipkins has signed off on a 180-million-dollar cash injection - so the CDHB can keep its head above water.
Newstalk ZB reporter Amber Allott says it had managed to rack up the biggest DHB deficit in the country..

But Allott says Hipkins has made it clear - Canterbury DHB has to return to financial stability.
