Dr Bryce Wilkinson: Replacing Health NZ board offers glimmer of hope
Labels: Dr Bryce Wilkinson, Ian Powell, New Commissioner, NZ Health BoardIn a dramatic move this week, the government replaced the board of Health New Zealand (Te Whatu Ora) with a commissioner.
Dramatic but not much of a surprise. Last November, health expert Ian Powell wrote, “The health system is in a state of chaotic crisis (carnage is what it often feels like to those at the clinical frontline).”
He thought that if the new Minister of Health did not decisively change the board’s direction “nothing would change”.
Take a bow then on this first step, Minister Reti.
