Justin Butcher: GPNZ interim chair outlines 10-year blueprint for the health system

from The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin · host Newstalk ZB

General Practice New Zealand's pitching its 10-year blue print for healing our health system. Measures include long term workforce planning, a shared electronic care record, funding model reviews and sustained GP investment.  Interim chair Justin Butcher says the country's health sector has been through challenging times and will likely go through more - and a unified approach is needed.  "We've had Covid, and we'd be very naïve if we thought this would be the last one. So we do need to start to think and plan a little bit differently if we want to address the issues." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
