Effectively we have an expectation that when the private sector fails,
it is up to government to fill the gap. Neither National or Labour
were prepared to anticipate the failure of the private market in that

innovative approaches - one GP did some consultations using video
services - he also publicised the problems in the area before I
believe moving away. Shane Reti was a GP who for some time was a
member of the Northland District Health Board; he rightly received
praise for helping Northland with first meningococcal vaccine, and
more well known later with Covid vaccines.
You have pointed out that some of the Rest Home operators anticipated potential issues with health care, but not enough. That would not have
been helped by the shrinking budget for other than acute services
under National, and the independent Health Boards operating in their
own silos had no brief to extend hospital services to cover GP work.
It is debatable whether a little of the money spent on roads would
have been better spent on extending hospital services. In the past
teachers were encouraged to move to rural areas by using a commitment
to service in lieu of training costs; that requires coordination at a national level, and the Health Dept has been fairly stretched with
Covid and other demands.
I went to a hospital in England some years ago - they had a problem
that most GP lists were full, and they had a site where all wanting
medical services who did not have a GP went and were triaged as to
whether they could be served there when a doctor became available or
whether they were sent to one of four hospitals. The reality is that
there comes a stage with any occupation that is reliant on government
for funding needs to be regarded as a public service. Integrating
hospital and GP services may result in better integrated and more
widely distributed services in Northland, with more travelling by air
to larger hospitals.

If the GP-clinics cannot find staff then neither will hospitals.
Health NZ could conceivably recruit overseas but the newshub article
clearly indicates how difficult this is to achieve.
I accept that training more locals is potentially a solution but we
would need to ensure we get the payback by bonding them to work in NZ
after graduation rather than taking off to lucrative entry-level
medical professional jobs overseas. It is bad enough getting good
people to go through 6 years of training, tacking on a requirement to
stay in NZ for a bonded period of, say, 5 years just adds to the
burden.
