SARAH PALLETT (Labour—Ilam): Thank you, Madam Speaker. It gives me great pleasure to rise in support of Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Bill, a bill which, as we've heard, will protect, promote, and improve the health of New Zealanders, and will help to achieve equity by reducing health disparities among New Zealand population groups and, in particular, for Māori. Because, you know, we are only as healthy as the least healthy of our communities. It benefits us all to improve access to health services and to iron out the inequities experienced by Māori, by disabled, by Pasifika, and by rural communities, among others.
