This present thesis suggests that, with appropriate changes in both the Medical Practitioners Act and in the articles and rules of the Medical Association, it would be far preferable to continue the traditional separation. One body concerned with overall registration, standards, conduct and health and the other concerned essentially with the interests of the profession and of the conditions of work of that profession. Strengthening of the NZMA regional activities, including less serious discipline, should be considered. It seems that the NZMA would be taking an enormous risk in opening up such a regulatory act to public scrutiny at this time. The law profession, in an earlier generation, chose differently and in their independent role have maintained public acceptability. The public, much more involved in the provision of a health service, might well now wish a major part of the doctors' regulation and this may not always be congruent with our own profession's interests.
本论文表明，对《医生法》以及医学协会的章程和规则进行适当修改后，继续传统的分离模式要好得多。一个机构负责总体注册、标准、行为规范和健康问题，另一个机构则主要关注该行业的利益及其工作条件。应考虑加强新西兰医学协会的区域活动，包括处理不太严重的纪律问题。目前，新西兰医学协会若将这样一项监管法案置于公众审视之下，似乎将冒巨大风险。上一代的法律行业做出了不同选择，并且凭借其独立角色保持了公众的接受度。如今，公众更多地参与到医疗服务的提供中，很可能希望在医生监管方面发挥主要作用，而这可能并不总是与我们行业自身的利益相一致。
