Challenging issues for health managers.
The reform of New Zealand's health system is raising a number of challenging issues for managers who will be responsible for implementing and managing change to make the market work. In this article Peter Holland, a Health Care consultant in Deloitte Ross Tohmatsu's Sydney office, who worked for some years in the British National Health Service and has had extensive hospital management experience, discusses the agenda facing health managers in New Zealand. He recently visited New Zealand and had the opportunity to discuss the detail of the reforms with representatives from several Area Health Boards.
