Minister of Health Andrew Little reveals a major reform of the health system which will abolish all of the DHBs nationwide. Concern the top of the south will be overlooked by a new health authority has punctuated reaction to the surprise decision to drop all district health boards. The Government will abolish the 20 district health boards and create a single health organisation, in a sweeping plan to centralise New Zealand’s fragmented healthcare system and end the “postcode lottery” of care. Health Minister Andrew Little on Wednesday announced the Government would create a national health organisation, akin to the United Kingdom’s NHS, and also a Māori Health Authority with spending power, and a new Public Health Authority to centralise public health work.
