We know that the Health and Disability System Review identified that people living in small towns and in rural towns can have poorer health outcomes and lower life expectancy. Rural populations were mentioned over 80 times in that health and disability review, and yet, when it came to the health system reform that this Government put forward, they were barely mentioned at all. If it was not for the ACT Party standing up for rural New Zealand, we would not be here congratulating the Minister on finally adopting a sensible change. We certainly hope that it will go some way to helping people get more access to midwives, to better healthcare, to better mental health care and mental health nurses, and to better mental health technology—a whole range of systems that can help rural populations. But I would also question why it was that only a few weeks ago, the Minister seemed to think that localities were the answer to rural New Zealand's problems.
