Des Gorman: Auckland University Emeritus Professor on Health NZ Commissioner Lester Levy's planned overhaul for the health system
Manage episode 434100050 series 2098282
Health New Zealand's boss says his plan is to strengthen the clinical frontline - and it won't be cut or reduced.
Commissioner Lester Levy has emailed staff to address a presentation yesterday, that suggested significant frontline cuts.
He told them that directly conflicts with his thinking, and should be dismissed.
Auckland University Emeritus Professor Des Gorman says it implies a disconnect between the Commissioner and senior officials.
"And I think we're seeing that across all the health portfolios, that the various health ministers are struggling against officials' headwinds. And I think they're all finding it much harder to introduce changes than they thought they would."
