Heal+h cheque : the truth we should all know about New Zealand's public health system / Heal plus h cheque Health cheque Heal+h check Health check Gareth Morgan & Geoff Simmons ; with John McCrystal. - 275 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 261-275).
From interviews with those working in the sector through to a detailed examination of the latest major review of the system known as the Horn Report, Morgan and Simmons go behind the scenes of the New Zealand public health system and bring clarity to the issues that need to be addressed if crisis is to be avoided. The book explores the consequences of ongoing avoidance of the tough calls on rationing and prioritisation. It considers how many New Zealanders are already suffering or missing out from health care because of ad-hoc interventions in response to pressure groups. Co-authored with former Treasury analyst Geoff Simmons, and written in Morgan's frank style, this book takes no prisoners as it explores which patients and treatments need to be given priority.
