Health Minister Simeon Brown says the Government want patients to be able to see the clear benefits of health infrastructure investments.
The Government has approved a suite of amendments to the Healthy Futures Act, put in place in 2022, that it hopes will strengthen the performance of Health New Zealand.
Brown says these changes needed to be put in place to ensure the health system could be focused on delivering results over successive Governments.
"We've got to focus on improving the timeliness of elective surgeries, specialist appointments and ensuring our young children are getting those immunisations. It's actually just about making sure that the system knows what the focuses should be focused on - and holding it accountable."
