A health commentator has given his thoughts on how the next Government should tackle problems in our hospitals.
Te Whatu Ora metrics show the national rate of preventable hospital admissions for 0–4-year-olds has increased by 35% in the last year.
It also shows the number of patients waiting more than four months to see a specialist has increased by 46% over the same period.
Ian Powell told Kate Hawkesby that there's one change the new Government shouldn't make, and that's restructure the whole system again.
He says it sounds as though the new government is not going to do that, which is a plus.
