GP fees could be frozen for 12 months from July under a proposed Health NZ shake-up of the funding system. Under the proposals, around 60 percent of practices would receive increased funding through capitation re-weighting and annual funding increased. Overall funding for GPs would reportedly increase by six percent, as part of a $120.6 million injection for primary health. Health Minister Simeon Brown joined the Weekend Collective to unpack the overhaul. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
