National's pledging to restore pared back plans for the new Dunedin hospital to their original specifications; meaning more operating theatres, specialist equipment and in patient beds, if it's in government.

It estimates the up-sizing will cost close to $30 million. But it won't mean all elements of the initial hospital plan are reinstated.

National's health spokesperson, Doctor Shane Reti, spells out his party's election promise.
