From “The New Zealand Health and Disability System: Organisations and Responsibilities Briefing to the Minister of Health”, it looks (but please double check) as though Capital & Coast District Health Board had a deficit of 31.59 million NZD in 2011 (p.21):

And from a 2010 parliamentary debate,
“Hon Ruth Dyson: Does he [the Minister of Health?] stand by his statement of 19 March last year that access to cancer treatment must be delivered quickly or district health board chairs will be sacked… given that adults in the Capital and Coast District Health Board region are now facing waiting times for chemotherapy treatment of over 8 weeks?”

And the following Per Fink et al. book (including contributors Michael Sharpe and Peter White) claims that CBT is expensive but cost-effective because of the outcomes it produces (p 86). The authors also equate CFS with neurasthenia (p 6) and state that while relatively rare, CFS is extremely expensive to society (p 27).

Perhaps the Capital & Coast Health Board is biting into the CBT/GET apple because certain creatures are selling it as a fix to budget woes?
