I will start with health and warn this Government up front, here is the headline coming towards them in three words: save our DHBs. One of the sentinel actions that this Government has committed to is a blinded commitment to consolidate our DHBs. When DHBs are merged, the local voice is diminished. This has been done before, and while reinventing the wheel can sometimes bring back the best, it usually reinvents the bad. Those of us who have worked under Regional Health Authorities will remember how consolidation tramples the voice of the regions, which are simply lost in the challenges of big cities.
