Reform of the New Zealand health care system.
This paper provides an overview and analysis of New Zealand's health care reforms. It describes the basic features of the health care system and identifies some important problems and pressures for reform. The 1991 health care reforms are outlined and considered in terms of their impact on the efficiency and equity of the health care system. Several policy issues are identified that must be addressed if the benefits of the reforms are to be realised.
