As senior doctors walked off the job for a second time this month, Labour Leader Chris Hipkins has promised to fund the training of more doctors, if re-elected.

The party has committed to significantly boosting the number of placements at the country's two medical schools by 2027.

Mr Hipkins made the pledge during a day of campaigning in Dunedin, where he paid a visit to the 'The Love Shack.'
