Simeon Brown: Health Minister on the Government's changes to the Medicines Act
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
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.
