Pacific health leaders expect benefits from health overhaul

Pacific health leaders expect a radical overhaul of New Zealand s health system to bring benefits for people of Pacific heritage. The change will mean the 20 district health boards which run services for individual areas around Aotearoa will be replaced by one new body, Health NZ, which will instead plan services for the whole population. Health NZ will have four regional divisions but also district offices. There will also be a new Māori Health Authority, sitting alongside that, to both set policies for Māori health and to decide and fund those who will deliver services. And, on the back of Covid 19, there will be a new Public Health Agency which will target widespread health problems - like smoking - and try to prepare for pandemics and epidemics.

Addressing inequity among chief concerns for Māori Health Authority out of Porirua

RNZ Cautiously optimistic is how Māori GPs and health advocates are feeling after the announcement tangata whenua will have their own health body. Porirua health professionals and local iwi have great expectations for the forthcoming Māori Health Authority, as the community grapples with high deprivation, high concentrations of patients with complex needs, inequity and access concerns. Health Minister Andrew Little foreshadowed the authority’s creation as part of a major announcement on Wednesday which also spelt the end of the fragmented district health board (DHB) system set to be replaced by a centralised agency, Health NZ. While specific details on the Māori authority were yet to be ironed out, including the level of funding it would be responsible for, Little confirmed it would have commissioning powers, and would be able to make joint decisions alongside Health NZ.
