    The new Health Minister is vowing not to undertake major structural change to the health system...with the exception of disestablishing the Maori Health Authority

    The new Health Minister is vowing not to undertake major structural change to the health system...with the exception of disestablishing the Maori Health Authority


    The health system reforms, including the scrapping of the 20 DHBs and replacing it with Te Whatu Ora, was widely criticised by National in Opposition.

    He says the College of GPs have told him if he makes major changes, they'll fight him -- so there'll be a period where they stabilise things and provide a clear direction of travel.
