Continuity Amid Chaos: Health Care Management and Delivery in New Zealand

There have been four different structures for the New Zealand health sector since 1989. The country can now claim to have the "most restructured" of any of the world's health systems and has captured the attention of researchers and policy-makers globally as a result. However, there has been limited commentary on the actual management, organization and delivery of services. To review what has been happening and how providers have responded to the successive health system restructurings, Robin Gauld brings together essays on a wide range of key issues and initiatives in health care management and delivery by contributors working in the field.
