This report aligns with the FSC Blueprint for Growth, which recognises that New Zealanders worry about healthcare accessibility and affordability.

The Blueprint for Growth also shares our aspiration to increase collaboration between the private and public sectors, and using private sector skills to reduce the burden on the public system.
