The Ministry of Health had to apologise to the College of Midwives for their failure to even prepare a Budget bid in 2018. In fact, it should have been the Minister and the Government that apologised. The response? Nothing in Budget 2019. Apparently, they've been told there will be a solution in 2020. We'll see, because, actually, if there is anything that the Government has to deal with, it's the deficits now, before they even start with new money, and I would hate to be in Grant Robertson's shoes when it comes to Vote Health 2020.
