The new Health Minister is vowing not to undertake major structural change to the health system, with the exception of disestablishing the Māori Health Authority.

Shane Reti told Mike Hosking that the sector is tired.

He says the College of GPs have told him if he makes major changes, they'll fight him, so there'll be a period where they stabilise things and provide a clear direction of travel.
