flag New Zealand’s Labour proposes evidence-based funding for general practice to fix $137M shortfall and improve care.

flag Labour in New Zealand has proposed an independent, evidence-based system to set general practice funding, aiming to replace annual contract negotiations with Health New Zealand. flag The plan, supported cautiously by the General Practice Owners Association, seeks to ensure fair, transparent, and sustainable funding by basing fees on real costs, staffing, patient needs, and innovation. flag It aims to address a $137 million funding shortfall, rising practice fees, and growing access challenges. flag The model draws inspiration from Australia’s health pricing authority and is designed to improve frontline care, support preventive medicine, and stabilize general practice sustainability.
