Hon Dr DAVID CLARK (Minister of Health): COVID-19 is a global challenge. Thanks to early and decisive Government action, we have had comparatively few cases in New Zealand, but we know we will see more and we are prepared. Today, the Government announced an initial $500 million fund to strengthen our health services to fight and contain COVID-19. This package makes sure that health services are there for those who need them the most. This is an initial investment. From the outset, it has been made clear to me by the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance that financial resources will not be a constraint. The Government will ensure the health sector has the support and resources it needs to fight and contain COVID-19.
