Dr Bryan Betty: General Practice NZ Chair on the Health Minister wanting to return decision making to the regions
Health Minister Dr Shane Reti wants to return more decision making to the regions.
The previous government scrapped district health boards, forming the central bodies of Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand and the Māori Health Authority.
General Practice New Zealand chair Dr Bryan Betty told Roman Travers that in a lot of areas there's a breakdown between Wellington and what's needed in the regions.
He says this is a reaction to that. It's not going back to the way it was but is a halfway point.
