The Health And Disability Commissioner is a New Zealand crown entity responsible for promoting and protecting the rights of health and disability consumers, and facilitating the fair, simple, speedy, and efficient resolution of complaints.〔(Health and Disability Commissioner website )〕 ==History== Prior to 1972 to obtain compensation for illness, accident or disability the consumer would have to go through the Workers Compensation act, or through the common law. The Woodhouse report led to the Accident Compensation Act (1994). The purpose of this was to speed treatment and compensation. Consumers could not sue healthcare providers under this act. The Accident Compensation Act (1974) was intended to give better access to services for consumers.〔(Accident Compensation Act - ACC website )〕 However the shortcomings with this was that healthcare providers that consistently provided substandard care were not penalized. Following the Cartwright inquiry, the Health and Disability act (1992) appointed the Health and Disability commissioner to receive complaints from consumers, review and address where there are breaches. Anthony Hill became Health and Disability Commissioner in July 2010. He came to the HDC after six years as a Deputy Director-General of Health.〔(Health and Disability Commissioner website )〕
