Māori Health Group Rejects $120 Million GP Funding Boost
from Duncan Garner - Editor In Chief · host rova
We have a massive $120.6 million cash injection on the table for our struggling community GPs, and a group of Māori health providers has flatly rejected it. Why? Because the government updated the funding formula to focus entirely on health needs, deprivation, and rural isolation rather than race. I ask how funding people based on how sick they are is a step backwards. It sounds like total common sense to me. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
