Hon ANDREW LITTLE: The advice I've had is that providing the Government is committed to properly funding the health system and supporting the nurse workforce by lifting their pay and paying them properly—as this Government has done, increasing their pay 20 percent since we became the Government, rather than nurse pay going backwards in real terms under the previous Government—then we stand a good chance of filling those vacancies and getting the health workforce that we need to provide the healthcare that New Zealanders want.
