Community Scoop » 80 Years Of Failed Health Reforms – Can Health NZ Break The Mould?

Future reform must improve equality of access and outcome, they say. These proved to be key drivers behind the health sector reforms announced today by Health Minister Andrew Little.

National leader Judith Collins likens Māori Health Authority to segregation of last century

The changes are in response to the Health and Disability System Review, led by Helen Clark s former chief of staff Heather Simpson, which found the public health system, was complex and not equitable for Kiwis.  The interim Health and Disability System Review report in 2019 found Māori have not been served well by the system , and the system overall has not delivered Māori health and wellbeing outcomes that are fair .   Despite evidence that Māori have not been served equitably in health, Collins fears the Māori Health Authority will take New Zealand back to the era of segregation - when Māori and Pākehā lived separately. 

Don Brash strongly opposed to disaster Māori Health Authority

But Brash is not a fan of the Government s plan. Speaking to Magic Talk s Sunday Cafe, he said the Māori Health Authority was a disaster . Brash said the proposal leads us down a direction of two different peoples and we don t want that kind of division . Are Māori health issues important? Of course, they are, he told host Mel Homer. Are Māori health outcomes worse than the general population? Yes, they certainly are and therefore Māori health should warrant more spending on it - but a separate Māori Health Authority? Absolutely not in my view.

We don t want that kind of division : Brash opposes disaster Māori Health Authority

We don t want that kind of division : Brash opposes disaster Māori Health Authority Newshub 3 hrs ago Mark Quinlivan © Video - The AM Show; Image - File Watch: Andrew Little says back-office roles will go in health sector reforms. Former National and ACT Party leader Don Brash says he s strongly opposed to the Māori Health Authority proposed by the Government in the major health restructure announced this week. Earlier this week, the Government announced it was planning to create a new Crown entity and scrap New Zealand s 20 District Health Boards (DHBs). The Government said it would also create a Māori Health Authority to ensure the needs and expectations of Māori are met through design and delivery. The authority will work with the new Crown entity, which will be known as Health NZ.

The plan to get rid of district health boards and centralise healthcare explained

Health Minister Andrew Little announces the Government plan to abolish the 20 DHBs. A mega-agency – and a Māori agency – will replace the country’s DHBs. This is the most dramatic change to the health system in 20 years. Keith Lynch explains. Can we start with some context? Sure. Twenty years back, the Helen Clark-led Labour government introduced the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000, which led to the creation of 20 district health boards (DHBs) across the country. These organisations were set up to provide and fund healthcare in their regions. That’s one DHB for about every 250,000 New Zealanders, on average. But in reality they come in all shapes and sizes. The smallest, on the West Coast, is responsible for 32,000 people, while the Canterbury DHB is responsible for about 550,000.
