Health Minister Reveals 5 Key Health Priorities
Health Minister Simeon Brown has today released his five key priorities for Health New Zealand in a speech to the BusinessNZ Health Forum in Auckland.
“The Government is investing a record $16.68 billion of additional funding in health, but we need to ensure Kiwis are seeing improved outcomes from this significant expenditure.
“Under the last Government, the system was focused on bureaucratic restrictions, rather than delivery for patients.
“I am putting the focus firmly back on patients, and ensuring the health system puts those it serves first.
“I have today released my five key health priorities as Minister of Health:
“This plan is underpinned by a focus on putting patients first and supporting our frontline healthcare workers to deliver the healthcare New Zealanders need in a timely and quality manner.
“I promise every New Zealander: we will not stop until our health system delivers timely, quality care to all,” Mr Brown says.
