Public-private partnerships for hospital builds have failed overseas. Why is the new Coalition Government considering them in New Zealand? For-profit companies should not own our hospitals.
@nzlabour Don't just make such a statement without facts. Where is the published information backing your statement?
Don’t the government own majority shares in the major electricity generators? As a result of that there have been substantial dividends go back into the public purse, they are generally referred to as “State Owned Enterprises” Their contribution to successive government coffers over recent decades has been substantial… I don’t hear you squealing about that, but I guess that’s because you are Labour… 🙄🖕
@nzlabour The entire health service should be privatised, there’s a reason why so few world class health systems are structured this way!
@nzlabour Where did they fail? Is that place competitive and relevant comparison? Singapore and UAE have proven success. Maybe copy them.
Not really true that statement is it ? The success of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in healthcare varies greatly across countries, and "success" can be defined in many ways, including the quality of healthcare, access to services, financial sustainability, and public satisfaction. Some countries that are often cited for their effective healthcare systems using public-private partnerships include: 1. **Germany**: Known for its multi-payer healthcare system, Germany combines a statutory health insurance scheme with private insurance options. The system is renowned for its high level of access, choice for patients, and a strong mix of public and private hospitals. 2. **Singapore**: Singapore's healthcare system is often praised for its efficiency and quality. It includes a significant role for the private sector, balanced by strong government regulation and subsidies to ensure affordability and access. 3. **France**: France provides universal healthcare primarily funded by the government national health insurance, but private health providers play a substantial role. The system is known for high standards of care and accessibility. 4. **Netherlands**: The Dutch system features compulsory health insurance with private health insurers, but the government plays a significant role in controlling costs and setting quality standards. It's often highlighted for its accessibility and quality of care. 5. **Australia**: Australia's healthcare system is a blend of public and private funding, with the government providing the base level of universal healthcare and the private sector offering additional services. The system is well-regarded for its balance and coverage. 6. **Canada**: Known for its publicly funded healthcare system, Canada also has a private sector that complements the public system, especially in services not covered by public insurance, like dental and vision care. 7. **Japan**: Japan has a universal healthcare system where most hospitals are privately owned but tightly regulated by the government. This system is notable for its accessibility and comprehensive coverage.
@nzlabour Failed? Like race based healthcare.. 🤔 no wonder you’re sinking.
@nzlabour Under Labour spending increased 68% but results were worse. We should not double down on such failure.
@nzlabour Shrugs, you may be right but after 6 years under labour they have been brought to their knees.
@nzlabour NZ Health System completely rooted thanks to Labour.
