"Every health area must have a special doctor to keep people healthy"

There is a law that says every health district in New Zealand must have a medical officer of health. You can find more information about this in the Health Act 1956. This particular part of the law was repealed, which means it is no longer in effect, as stated in the Health Amendment Act 1993.

This repeal happened on 1 July 1993. The law was changed by section 8(1) of the Health Amendment Act 1993. The Health Amendment Act 1993 is a law that amended the Health Act 1956.
