Health system in crisis: What needs to be fixed to improve patient care

Description:

The parties of the coalition Government were staunch critics of the state of our healthcare system while on the opposite side of the aisle.

Now that they are in charge though, the heat is being put on them to sort out everything from months-long waiting times to see specialists, to gaps in the mental health system.

And most recently, Budget 2024 did not deliver the much-promised funding of 13 new cancer drugs, that has shocked advocates.

Today on The Front Page, Patient Voice Aotearoa chairperson Malcolm Mulholland joins us to discuss the issues facing patients across the country, and what the Government needs to do to improve our healthcare.
