Putting Patients First: Modernising health workforce regulation

The Government is reviewing health workforce regulation to improve New Zealanders’ timely, quality access to healthcare.

We have an opportunity to put patients at the centre, modernise and streamline the system, and improve efficiency.

The Government is inviting New Zealanders to share their views on health workforce regulation through the Ministry of Health’s online consultation portal.

Feedback on the options outlined in the discussion document will inform the Ministry’s advice to the Government on possible changes to health workforce regulation.
