BROOKE VAN VELDEN (Deputy Leader—ACT): Thank you, Madam Speaker It's my pleasure to rise tonight on behalf of the ACT Party in opposition to the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Bill. I want to take some time to acknowledge the health workers who have been working as our essential workers under the COVID crisis. You know, we have had so many months of nurses and doctors, GPs, people working in our hospitals and in our community care who have worn full personal protective equipment, who have sometimes left their families aside, and who have been wearing masks that have started to cut into their faces so that we can have healthcare and that we can have the essential services that we need under COVID. But I also want to take some time to acknowledge the hard work of people who weren't considered our essential workers under COVID—and there are many people who are in our health workforce who aren't considered essential workers. I think that's wrong and I'm glad that the Government under alert level 3 has changed some of the rules so people can have their osteos and their physios, for example. We have a huge workforce of healthcare workers in New Zealand and I want to acknowledge all the hard work that they do.
