Hon ANDREW LITTLE (Minister of Health): Recently, the Prime Minister and I attended a ceremony to bless the site and workers for phase two of the redevelopment of the Bay of Islands Hospital in Kawakawa. The new building will house out-patients and primary care facilities. The Government has invested $14 million in this project to help the Northland District Health Board address inequitable health outcomes for Māori by making services easier to access for communities. These new facilities are an indicator of the future, with a range of services available in a primary setting, and will mean people can get the care they need close to home and close to whānau rather than having to travel to Whangārei or Auckland.
