新西兰卫生部10月29日消息,卫生部长安德鲁·利特尔称《Pae Ora(健康未来)法案》在议会一读通过,并成立了一个特别特别委员会来审议该法案并听取公众意见。

安德鲁·利特尔 说:”我们正在修复一个公共卫生系统,长期以来,这个系统一直未能使毛利人和许多被排除在外的人失望。 本届政府致力于建立一个新的卫生系统,提供更好的国家协调和更一致的支持,这样所有新西兰人无论他们是谁,无论他们住在哪里,都能得到他们需要的医疗保健。特别是特别委员会将确保我们在卫生改革的下一阶段利用各种优势、知识和观点。

“健康未来”法案将20个地区卫生委员会改为新西兰健康组织,这是一个新的官方组织,以提供国家卫生服务,重点是初级卫生保健。它还设立了一个独立的毛利卫生局,与新西兰卫生部合作。 毛利卫生当局正在改变毛利人的健康结果,这将改变我们人民的游戏规则”。

卫生部副部长皮尼·赫纳雷说:”这是我们解决严重影响我们毛利社区的不成比例的健康不平等问题的机会。当我们把人们放在医疗保健体验的中心时,包括毛利人在内的人们更有可能在需要的时候伸出援手,这样可以挽救更多的生命。

该法案首次承认Iwi-Méori伙伴关系委员会的作用,并设立了一个毛利人咨询小组,就毛利人健康作者行使权力向卫生部长提供咨询意见。它还在卫生部内设立了一个扩大的公共卫生机构,以领导公共卫生战略,并设立了一个公共卫生专家咨询委员会。卫生部将继续担任卫生系统的首席管家,向政府提供政策咨询,并规范和监测卫生系统的运作方式”。

安德鲁·利特尔说:”该法案现在将提交一个特别的特别委员会,所有新西兰人将有机会就他们希望我们未来的卫生系统是什么样子发表自己的建议。为了取得成功,我们需要改变我们在整个系统中做事的方式,从法案中更详细地说明新系统的日常运作式”条例草案预计将于明年通过,并将于2022年7月1日生效。

Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Bill passes first reading
The Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Bill passed its first reading in Parliament and a special Select Committee has been set up to consider the Bill and hear public submissions, Health Minister Andrew Little says.
“We are fixing a public health system that has, for far too long, failed Māori and many others who have been left out.
“This Government is committed to building a new health system that provides better national coordination and more consistent support, so all New Zealanders can get the health care they need no matter who they are or where they live,” Andrew Little said.
“The special Select Committee will ensure we draw on a wide range of strengths, knowledge and perspectives when it comes to the next stages of the health reforms.”
The Pae Ora Healthy Futures Bill replaces the 20 District Health Boards with Health New Zealand – a new Crown organisation – to provide a national health service with a strong focus on primary health care. It also establishes an independent Māori Health Authority to work in partnership with Health New Zealand.
“The Māori Health Authority is about transforming Māori health outcomes which will be a game changer for our people,” Associate Health Minister (Māori Health) Peeni Henare said.
“This is our chance to address the disproportionate health inequities that have significantly affected our Māori communities. When we put people at the centre of the healthcare experience it is more likely that people including Māori will reach out when they need to – this could save more lives.”
The Bill recognises the role of Iwi-Māori Partnership Boards for the first time and also establishes a hauora Maori advisory group to advise the Minister of Health on exercising powers in relation to the Maori Health Authority.
It also establishes an expanded Public Health Agency within the Ministry of Health to lead public health strategy, as well as an expert advisory committee on public health.
The Ministry of Health will continue to act as the health system’s chief steward, providing policy advice to the Government and regulating and monitoring the way the health system works.
“The bill will now go to a special Select Committee and all New Zealanders will have a chance to have their say about what they want our future health system to look like,” Andrew Little said.
“To be successful we need to change how we do things throughout the system – more detail of how the new system will operate day-to-day will follow on from the Bill.”
The Bill is expected to be passed next year, and will come into effect on July 1, 2022.
