The Canterbury model is an extrememly viable option for the Island's health and social care system.
That's according to the department's chief executive Mark Charters, who has just returned from New Zealand with health minister Howard Quayle to find out more about it.
The model aims to prevent large numbers of people being treated in hospital for preventable diseases, and improve the treatment of other conditions through care in the community.
Mr Charters says there are a lot of similarities between the Isle of Man and New Zealand, which could make the model a real success here:
Inmates stage prison protest over time spent in cells
'Unnecessary' delays left electricity customer in limbo
Drone users reminded not to fly devices during Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix course closures
'The Island needs to be able to compete' against other destinations
