This paper explores the thesis that a series of impasses have developed in the New Zealand health system for historical reasons and in the absence of a central philosophy determining the shape development of the service: resolution of these blocks to development of a coordinated system requires urgent attention. However, a satisfactory solution seems unlikely, unless New Zealand redevelops a central philosophy for its health service.
