Hon KRIS FAAFOI (Associate Minister of Housing (Public Housing)): This Government believes that the over 600,000 households who live in rented homes should be living in places that are warm, dry, and secure. This is why we have introduced changes in the healthy homes guarantee, and also our reforms to the Residential Tenancies Act. I have recently seen some unfortunate commentary that the new standards are burdensome and unnecessary, but the Government disagrees. We do disagree because the Ministry of Health has said that 6,000 children are admitted every year for housing-sensitive hospitalisations, and these children have been found to be nearly four times more likely to be re-hospitalised and 10 times more likely to die in the following 10 years.
