New Zealand Rural General Practice Network (RPNG) said, "[The] RPNG is supportive of the overall reform direction that the legislation is designed to enable. We support the new structures and the intent to achieve a consistent and unified health system. This support includes the requirement to give greater effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We endorse the intent that the whole health system, and not just the Māori Health Authority, will be responsible and accountable for health equity and upholding the principles of Te Tiriti."
