Health Law is an authoritative account of the law relating to medical and health care law in New Zealand.

Led by General Editors Professors Peter Skegg and Ron Paterson, the work is a collaborative effort by some of New Zealand’s leading medico-legal experts: Joanna Manning, John Dawson, Nicola Peart, Louise Delany, and Morag McDowell.

Health Law includes: Regulation of health; The Code of Patients’ Rights; the provision and standard of care; consent; health information; mental health and intellectual disability; the beginning of life; the end of life; human tissue and coroners; and the public health.

Health Law is drawn from Health Law in New Zealand.
