What are Māori health inequities? The Ministry of Health lists them. First published June 2019. ANALYSIS: Radical centralisation. That’s the best way to describe the Government’s proposed reforms to the health and disability service. It's the health reform that had to happen. In what will be a massive shock to many in the healthcare system, the number of District Health Boards will not be reduced as expected, but the whole governance architecture created in the early years of the Helen Clark Government two decades ago will be dismantled. Minister of Health Andrew Little is clear: he wants a national health service freed from the competing priorities, duplication and wildy varying quality of the DHBs.
