Rural health is different and needs to be recognised and futureproofed in this bill. The New Zealand Rural General Practice Network said this after the second reading of the bill: "The Minister was unwilling to define rural communities as a priority population in the legislation. It was further galling to see the Minister interviewed on TV3's Newshub and asked to comment on the fact that rural-health professionals were concerned that they were not identified in the draft legislation, the Minister commenting that the problem with rural practice is that they are old-fashioned business models that don't work anymore. That disrespects rural practices."
