Clause 3 of the bill is clear that the purpose of it is to protect, promote, and improve the health of all New Zealanders. The health sector principles in clause 7 confirm the need for the system to be equitable, which is in clause 7(1)(a), and to protect and promote people's health and wellbeing through a number of means, clause 7(1)(e). The scheme of the bill makes it clear: Health New Zealand and the Māori Health Authority need to work closely together—and I can tell the House that during this establishment phase that is exactly what has been happening. The committee has recommended important changes that will strengthen the bill to help achieve the purpose of the reforms. I welcome these recommendations. They will ensure the bill succeeds in laying the foundations for a transformed health system to tackle inequities and improve health outcomes for all New Zealanders.
