 Reforming New Zealand's Health System: 

The Minister of Health has announced a significant reform to New Zealand's health system, underpinned by major changes to our system's structure and operating model. The changes will reduce fragmentation, strengthen leadership and accountability, and improve equity of access and outcomes for all New Zealanders.

The New Zealand health system is complex with a wide network of health professionals, managers and providers meeting the needs of whānau and communities. The two entities will have to develop a strong infrastructure around workforce development to prepare all those within that system (workforce, and partners in the community) to implement the system reforms. Implementation of those reforms will require a whole new set of skills for the workforce, including technical skills as well as ‘soft' behavioural skills.
