Our other SOP would amend Part 2—SOP 172. This amendment strengthens the language in the bill so that Health New Zealand will require the agreement of the Māori Health Authority before carrying out its functions, such as services provision and health workforce planning, and I agree with National in that particular space. Rather than just being required to work with them, this would be a common-sense but significant improvement to the bill which would help ensure tangata whenua are not sidelined once again in the operations of the health system or in the new local bureaucracies that will replace the DHBs.
