Chief Executive Chris Higgins today presented NZHR’s submission on the health reforms legislation to the Pae Ora Legislation Committee. We recommended that the Bill be enhanced to improve the likelihood of the reformed health system’s saving lives by including

•             a requirement for all components of the reformed health system to adopt an overt evidence base to their functions and strategies;

•             provision for a health research and innovation strategy covering all aspects of health research and innovation together with all sources of funding and investment;

•             non-discretionary opportunities to contribute and be consulted
