Hon Dr DAVID CLARK (Minister of Health): COVID-19 is putting pressure on even the best-prepared health systems around the world, with Italy and some other countries overwhelmed. In New Zealand, thanks to our early and decisive action, we have so far had relatively few cases. We've been working from our comprehensive pandemic plan since January to flatten the curve, and today we've announced a $500 million health fund to combat COVID-19. But we know we will see more cases here. As I've noted many times in this House, there has been under-investment in health, but our health services are prepared; our doctors, nurses, and other health staff have had time to plan. I have huge confidence in their skills and professionalism and their ability to respond to COVID-19.
