KEY POINTS:
District health boards have announced a settlement to the long-running andbitter employment dispute with junior doctors, but the doctors' union says they are only considering an offer.
DHBs spokesman David Meates said the 21 boards were delighted to have agreed on terms of settlement for a new multi-employer collective agreement with the Resident Doctors' Association.
But Deborah Powell, for the doctors, said the boards had simply made an offer which had been taken back to union members.
