MATT DOOCEY (National—Waimakariri): Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. I'll be rising on behalf of the National Party this afternoon to oppose the Government's Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Bill. I want to set the scene of where New Zealand is at today with healthcare. Today in the New Zealand Herald, the headline said "Wellington Hospital: Woman claims she sat in urine-soaked clothes for six hours in Wellington ED"—"Capital and Coast DHB says emergency department patients can 'generally expect to be moved to a ward in a timely manner - but ED has been operating at full capacity in recent weeks.'" On Saturday, we had, in Radio New Zealand: "Health system hit hard by winter illness while 'stubborn' Covid-19 numbers persist … Last night, Dunedin Hospital closed all its wards to visitors after patients and staff on several wards were exposed to Covid-19." The Dominion Post last Tuesday had a headline: "Hospital Emergency departments struggling as winter illnesses add to existing pressures"—"The demand for urgent medical attention is so high in some emergency departments they cannot physically fit all the sick people inside." Finally, last week the New Zealand Herald reported: "Patient with typhoid fever slept in car due to lack of beds at Middlemore Hospital … He's warning the South Auckland hospital is 'imploding', and says he's terrified of what could happen if the usual respiratory viruses take hold over winter."
