But while it is acknowledged New Zealand has under-invested in health infrastructure, more damaging has been the under-investment in people.

Key Points: 
  • But while it is acknowledged New Zealand has under-invested in health infrastructure, more damaging has been the under-investment in people.
  • This lack of planning for the future health workforce is directly responsible for the staffing shortages now being experienced.
  • Ideally this would include a budget that invests in training more – and more diverse – New Zealand doctors.

Relentless demand

    • We know the demand for more doctors is relentless – fuelled by a growing and ageing population.
    • At the same time, we have an ageing medical workforce, with many doctors planning to retire in the next decade.
    • To sustain this modest growth each year, we will need to increase the total medical workforce by 590 annually.
    • Last year, 1,232 IMGs were registered to practice here, reflecting the high demand for doctors not being met through local training and retention.

Our missing GPs

    • There are particular problems in the less wealthy regions, and in particular specialities such as general practice.
    • GPs are the backbone of the health system, with 90% of health consultations occurring in primary care.
    • Yet while we have increased the number of doctors by 5,000 over the past ten years, the number of GPs has only increased by 260.

Investing in training

    • In both countries, research showed doctors tended to stay and work in the area where they trained.
    • The new medical schools are located in regions with high needs and recruitment difficulties.
    • This should be just the start, with ongoing commitments to increase student numbers in line with the growing medical workforce.
