16 September 2007 New Zealanders would support radical changes – including a ‘Cullen Fund’ type account for health care and letting the private sector tender for more public work – to overcome what they see as an inefficient and worsening health system, research released today shows. There is also support for extending the Accident Compensation Scheme to cover catastrophic illnesses like cancer.
Two in three New Zealanders believe the public health system is inefficient and almost half of all New Zealanders believe the system has got worse in the past five years, though not for them themselves and their families, according to the research undertaken by ShapeNZ for the New Zealand Business Council for Sustainable Development.
